Prevalence and molecular characterization of Cyclospora cayetanensis, Henan, China

Emerg Infect Dis. 2011 Oct;17(10):1887-90. doi: 10.3201/eid1710.101296.

Abstract

To determine prevalence of Cyclospora cayetanensis infection in Henan, China, we conducted a study of 11,554 hospital patients. Prevalence was 0.70% (95% confidence interval 0.70% ± 0.15%), with all age groups infected. Most cases were found in the summer. Minor sequence polymorphisms were observed in the 18S rRNA gene of 35 isolates characterized.
