What is cyclospora?
Cyclospora is a spore-forming protozoan. It is linked to food contaminated with feces, and if ingested, it can cause a cyclospora infection, or cyclosporiasis, which includes flu-like symptoms within a week after ingestion.
What causes Cyclosporiasis?
Cyclospora
What group does Cyclospora belong to?
Coccidia
What does Cyclospora cause?
You get it by drinking water or eating food that's been contaminated by an infected person. No one knows exactly how cyclospora is transmitted. A person infected with cyclospora passes the parasite in stool. However, unlike some other foodborne parasites, cyclospora doesn't become infectious until days or weeks after it's passed in a bowel movement.

Can iodine purify any kind of water enough to consume it?
There are a number of chemical methods for water purification.IodineChlorine TabletsLaundry Bleach (probably the cheapest)They will probably all be reasonably effective in killing bacteria, protozoa, and viruses, but may be dosage, time, and temperature dependent. There are a few types of bacteria that it will be ineffective against, including a bacteria in Nepal called cyclospora and as well as a protozoa family Cryptosporidium oocysts. Perhaps other cyst and spore forming parasites could also be problematic.Note, you can not just mix and drink, and solutions may require waiting a half an hour or more before using.Here are a couple of good articles on Iodine and Chlorine treatments of water.http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2010/chapter-2/water-disinfection.aspxhttp://www.high-altitude-medicine.com/water.htmlOther than flavor issues, and small does of Chlorine or Iodine (which may be an allergen to some people),The primary limitation of chemical treatment of water is that it will do absolutely nothing to get rid of chemicals that may be present in the water.I.E. It will not help if you have petroleum, Methanol, Cyanide, Heavy Metal Contamination, and etc in the water. Activated Carbon filters will help with most of these.
What causes food poisoning?
According to WebMD (link attached), there are over 250 diseases that cause food poisoning. These include pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites. Salmonella is one of many causes of foodborne illness (aka food poisoning) and is a bacterial infection that can be passed on to humans from domestic and wild animals, including poultry, pigs, cattle, and pets. But most often, it is caused by drinking unpasteurized milk or by eating undercooked poultry and poultry products such as eggs. Any food prepared on surfaces contaminated by raw chicken or turkey can also become tainted with salmonella. Less often, the illness may stem from food contaminated by a food worker. Salmonella can escape from the intestine and go into the blood and travel to other organs. It may become a chronic infection in some people, who can be symptom-free yet capable of spreading the disease to others. You also have Campylobacter, E. coli, Clostridium, Staphylococcus, Cyclospora, Giardia and many others.Depends on the type of food poisoning. Different bacteria from different foods, different symptoms. Can range from diarrhea to kidney failure and death.Most of the time from uncooked or not fully cooked food.under cooked food!there are many causes but commonly caused by bacteria such as salmonellaCauses of food poisoning starts from mishandling of food and its preparation. Other may start or from bacterias and viruses, parasite, mold, toxins, contaminants, allergens, and many more. That's why people should be able to know about proper food handling and preparation especially those in the food industry. Some can also get their own NCPLH as personal license and certification for handling food, food service, retailing, etc.
Distinguish between the acid-fast cell and the non-acid fast?
Primary stain: carbol fuchsin will leave the acid fast cells red, as it can penetrate the lipoidal (thick waxy) shell of the acid fast shell. Counterstain: methylene blue will leave the non-acid fast cells blue. So you should have red and blue.
What diseases can not drinking clean water cause?
Not drinking clean water can lead to various waterborne diseases and health issues. Contaminated water can harbor pathogens, toxins, and pollutants that, when ingested, can cause a range of illnesses. Some of the diseases associated with unsafe drinking water include: Waterborne Bacterial Infections: Cholera: A bacterial infection causing severe diarrhea and dehydration. Typhoid Fever: Caused by Salmonella Typhi, leading to fever, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, complications affecting various organs. Waterborne Viral Infections: Hepatitis A: A viral infection affecting the liver and causing symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, and nausea. Norovirus Infection: A highly contagious virus causing gastroenteritis with symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Waterborne Parasitic Infections: Giardiasis: Caused by the Giardia parasite, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Cryptosporidiosis: Caused by the Cryptosporidium parasite, resulting in watery diarrhea and stomach cramps. Waterborne Protozoal Infections: Amoebiasis: Caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica, resulting in dysentery and liver abscesses. Cyclosporiasis: Caused by the protozoan Cyclospora, leading to diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. Waterborne Diseases from Contaminants: Arsenic Poisoning: Long-term exposure to water contaminated with arsenic may lead to skin lesions, cancer, and other health issues. Lead Poisoning: Drinking water contaminated with lead can result in developmental issues, especially in children. Vector-Borne Diseases: Dengue Fever: Stagnant or contaminated water can serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes, increasing the risk of vector-borne diseases like dengue fever. Malaria: Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes that transmit the malaria parasite. Gastrointestinal Disorders: Dehydration: Lack of clean water can lead to dehydration, especially in cases of severe diarrhea or vomiting. Gastroenteritis: Contaminated water may cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Skin Infections: Schistosomiasis: Caused by parasitic worms, this disease can result from exposure to contaminated freshwater, leading to skin rashes, abdominal pain, and liver damage. Access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for preventing these waterborne diseases. Water treatment, sanitation practices, and maintaining hygiene are crucial in ensuring the safety of water sources and preventing the spread of waterborne illnesses. Public health measures, such as water quality testing and infrastructure improvements, play a vital role in reducing the prevalence of waterborne diseases globally.
