The last two decades saw a steady increase of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) used for
treatment of foods. Although the science of biomaterials exposed to high pressure started …

Cyclospora cayetanensis is a coccidian parasite of humans, with a direct fecal–oral
transmission cycle. It is globally distributed and an important cause of foodborne outbreaks …

Biological data support the hypothesis that there are multiple species in the genus
Cryptosporidium, but a recent analysis of the available genetic data suggested that there is …

We develop a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo approach to estimating the
posterior distribution of phylogenies based on aligned DNA/RNA sequences under several …

Members of the suborder Eimeriina (phylum Apicomplexa: class Sporozoea: order
Eucoccidiorida) have complex 1 or 2 host life cycles that involve endogenous development …

Over the past few decades, nucleic acid-based methods have been developed for the
diagnosis of intestinal parasitic infections. Advantages of nucleic acid-based methods are …

The coccidian parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis is recognized as an emerging pathogen
that causes protracted diarrhea in humans. The first cases of Cyclospora infection were …

Despite recent advances in diagnostic technology, microscopic examination of stool
specimens remains central to the diagnosis of most pathogenic intestinal protozoa …

Over the past several years, the development and application of molecular diagnostic
techniques has initiated a revolution in the diagnosis and monitoring of infectious diseases …

Cyclospora cayetanensis, a coccidian parasite that causes protracted, relapsing
gastroenteritis, has a short recorded history. In retrospect, the first 3 documented human …
