Protozoa, such as Cyclospora cayetanensis, and also various foodborne trem-atodes have been associated with infections, often with severe, chronic, or fatal health consequences (Molins, Motarjemi, and Kaferstein, 2001). 

Most are monoxenous (= one host), a feature which is consistent with an easier spreading. Especially, if human is the specific host, he can play the role of reservoir and of infectious source to other humans or to the environment (e.g. Giardia intestinalis, C. hominis, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Isospora belli).
