Show Me the Light! UV Light for Cyclospora

This 34-minute video from the American Society for Microbiology explores the detection methods for Cyclospora, a parasite that causes cyclosporiasis with symptoms including nausea, body aches, abdominal pain, fatigue, and explosive diarrhea. Learn about an easier and cheaper approach to identify this pathogen that isn't routinely detected in standard O&P examinations. Part of the "Editors in Conversation" series hosted by Journal of Clinical Microbiology Editor in Chief Alex McAdam and Dr. Elli Theel, the discussion focuses on UV light detection methods for Cyclospora, particularly relevant for those in regions like Texas where outbreaks have occurred. The video references a featured article from the journal and provides information about ASM membership benefits, including discounted publication fees.
