A new coccidian parasite (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from humans.

Based on very high magnification electron transmission micrographs and contrast microscopy, Ortega and colleagues fully characterized the parasite and named it Cyclospora cayetanensis n. sp., naming it after Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru where they did the principal studies of the parasite.
