Cyclospora cayetanensis as a Global Health Problem

Abstract

of the parasite challenge the implementation of effective prevention and control strategies. It is necessary to pull together the global efforts to prevent cyclosporiasis, and strengthen partnerships and to bring them into a coherent whole. Maximizing the interaction among different disciplines such as parasitology, epidemiology, public health, and molecular biology is imperative for unveiling the secrets of this enigmatic parasite which will conduct to effective strategies to control coccidian contaminant. The help from global health organizations on surveying, preventing, and responding to outbreaks; improving the safety of international supply chains; and sharing the best practices worldwide is crucial. Promotion of Open Access Movement is important for the flow of knowledge, innovation, translation of findings into new or improved preventive, diagnostic, and treatment products, and world socio-economic development. A realistic solution for controlling cyclosporiasis, requires a multidisciplinary focus that includes sciences related to the field of parasitology, and social sciences; the cooperation of the international health organisms; and the implementation, by the governments, of programs of sanitary education, environmental sanitation, and adequate house construction.
