Entero-toxigenic, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp. and Aeromonas hydrophila. The parasitic causes were Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Strongyloides stercoralis. Many accompanying symptoms were fever, headache, anorexia, vomiting, malaise, and myalgia, but cannot be used for diagnostic certainty among viral, bacterial, and protozoan causes.
