The correct answer is D, Giardia intestinalis (lamblia).
Giardia
is a common infection in children. It can be transmitted through fecal-oral contamination, and can
affect absorption of fats in the gut. Some of the
symptoms (excessive mucus and fat in the stools) described are
not indicative for Cyclospora cayetanensis
infection. Chilomastix mesnili and Trichomonas
hominis are nonpathogenic protozoans that are commonly seen in
human stool.
