Avoiding food or water that may be contaminated with stools can help prevent the infection of Cystoisospora (Isosporiasis). Good hand-washing, and personal-hygiene practices should be used as well. One should wash their hands with soap and warm water after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before handling food (CDC.gov). [1]
Cystoisospora belli, previously known as Isospora belli, is a parasite that causes an intestinal disease known as cystoisosporiasis. [1] This protozoan parasite is opportunistic in immune suppressed human hosts. [2] It primarily exists in the epithelial cells of the small intestine, and develops in the cell cytoplasm. [2]
Coccidia can infect all mammals, some birds, some fish, some reptiles, and some amphibians. Most species of coccidia are species-specific in their host. An exception is Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect all mammals, although it can only undergo sexual reproduction in cats. Depending on the species of coccidia, infection can cause fever ...
The taxonomy of this group is complex and only partly understood. Two major clades have been identified: the isosporoid coccidia (Toxoplasma, Neospora, Isospora [in part], and Sarcocystis) and a second clade containing Lankesterella, Caryospora and the eimeriid coccidia (Cyclospora, Isospora [in part] and Eimeria).

C. belli has been isolated from immunosuppressed humans — particularly those with HIV infection. These parasites normally infect the enterocytes of the small intestine and are spread by the orofaecal route. The definitive hosts are cats but other species including various species of rodents may be infected.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends 4- to 6-year-olds receive, among others, their fourth dose of the polio vaccine; their second dose of the measles, mumps, and ...
