Intestinal protozoa account for a minority of cases of acute traveler's diarrhea, but they are common pathogens in travelers who experience protracted diarrhea during or after travel. Evaluation of the traveler with chronic diarrhea should include a careful examination for typical infecting organisms, such as Giardia and Entamoeba species, as well as for emerging parasites, such as Cryptosporidium species, Cyclospora species, and microsporidia. The microbiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of the most common intestinal parasites found in travelers are presented in this minireview.
肠道原生动物在急性旅行者腹泻病例中占少数，但它们是在旅行期间或旅行后经历持续性腹泻的旅行者中的常见病原体。对慢性腹泻的旅行者进行评估应包括仔细检查典型的感染生物，如贾第虫和内阿米巴属物种，以及新兴寄生虫，如隐孢子虫属物种、环孢子虫属物种和微孢子虫。本综述介绍了旅行者中发现的最常见肠道寄生虫的微生物学、流行病学、临床表现和治疗方法。
