Looks like an eosin stain was used not iodine. cryotosporidium oocyst will be greenish (apple green) using eosin stain while it's clear/transparent if iodine is used. -pacman
looks to me like Cryptosporidium sp., it doesn't have the characteristic 'broken glass' internal appearance of cyclospora which would be a differential.
Hello I was wondering if there was an email address which i could send a photo for identification?. I have been searching on line for weeks but still can't find anything that could identify this parasite which came from a human. many thanks :)
Cryptosporidium parvum or Cryptosporidium hominis. Molecular detection is needed in order to confirm the species.
ReplyDeleteCryptosporidium spp. Too small for Cyclospora
