Cryptosporidium parvum or Cryptosporidium hominis. Molecular detection is needed in order to confirm the species.
Cryptosporidium spp. Too small for Cyclospora

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.

Cryptosporidium sp.
acid fast, 4-5 um
Agree with cryptosporidium
Agree with Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts.
