从1997年1月至1998年7月，我们检查了327个家畜，包括猪，牛，马，山羊，狗，猫，豚鼠，鸡，鸭，火鸡，鸽子在Leogane，海地，环孢子虫感染的粪便样本。未发现与C.在所有动物样本中均检测到cayetanensis，尽管它们生活在有受感染个体的家庭中或附近。这些结果表明家畜不是C. cayetanensis和在这个地方病地区，人类：是这种寄生虫的唯一自然宿主。
From January 1997 through July 1998, we examined stool samples from 327 domestic animals, including pigs, cattle, horses, goats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chicken, ducks, turkeys, and pigeons in Leogane, Haiti, for the presence of Cyclospora cayetanensis infection. No coccidian oocysts morphologically compatible with C. cayetanensis were detected in any of the animal samples, despite their living in, or near, households with infected individuals. These results suggest that domestic animals are not reservoir hosts for C. cayetanensis and that in this endemic area, humans: are the only natural host for this parasite.
