In 1996 and 1997, outbreaks of Cyclospora cayetanensis in North America were linked to Guatemalan raspberries. From April 1999 to April 2000, we undertook a survey for C. cayetanensis in raspberry farm workers, malnourished children, and human immunodeficiency virus and AIDS patients in Guatemala. Stool samples were analyzed using ethylacetate-formalin concentration, wet preparation, modified acid-fast staining method, and epifluorescence. Oocysts were found in 1.5% of the subjects, none of whom were raspberry farm workers.
1996年和1997年,北美洲的卡耶塔环孢子虫疫情与危地马拉的树莓有关。1999年4月至2000年4月,我们对危地马拉的树莓农场工人、营养不良儿童以及人类免疫缺陷病毒和艾滋病患者进行了卡耶塔环孢子虫调查。粪便样本采用乙酸乙酯-福尔马林浓缩法、湿片法、改良抗酸染色法和落射荧光法进行分析。在1.5%的受试者中发现了卵囊,其中没有树莓农场工人。
