Abstract
From January 1995 through July 1998, we investigated the occurrence of Cycl ospora cayetanensis infection associated with gastrointestinal illness or d iarrhea in foreign residents and natives of West Java, Indonesia. We found that C. cayetanensis was the main protozoal cause of gastrointestinal illne ss and diarrhea in adult foreign residents during the wet season. The paras ite rarely caused illness in the indigenous population or in children.
