A:
Agarose gel (2%) analysis of a PCR diagnostic
test for detection of Cyclospora DNA. PCR was performed using a
nested protocol with primers CYCF1E/CYCR2B (first round) and CYCF3E/CYCR4B (second round).1,2

positive fecal specimen. The red arrow shows the diagnostic band for Cyclospora
cayetanensis (size: 308 bp).
