Cyclospora: Cyclospora - pathophysiology
(The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult)

• Infected patients excrete unsporulated oocysts in their stool.
• Sporulation then occurs days to weeks after release into the environment.
• Ingestion of sporulated oocysts occurs and sporozoites are released that invade the intestinal epithelial cells.
• Sporozoites develop into trophozoites which undergo schizogony and form merozoites.
• Merozoites may develop into macro- or microgametes which become fertilized, resulting in oocysts.
• Entire life cycle is completed in the host.
• Incubation period is between 1 and 11 days, with an average of 7 days.

Cyclospora - etiology

• Outbreaks have been associated with the consumption of raspberries, mesclun (young salad greens), and basil.
• Infection occurs through the consumption of contaminated food and water.
• Transmission does not occur through person-to-person spread.
