Because the Cyclospora parasite is not considered infectious until one to two weeks after being passed in a bowel movement, direct human-to-human spread is considered very unlikely.

Symptoms of cyclosporiasis include frequent bouts of watery diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss, and can persist for weeks.

If you experience symptoms, please see your healthcare provider, who can test you and treat you with antibiotics.
