Pathogen	Positive in diarrhea samples (n = 160)	Positive in non-diarrhea samples (n = 154)	χ2 (P-value)	OR (95% CI)
Cryptosporidium parvum	11 (6.9%)	14 (9.1%)	0.53 (0.468)	0.74 (0.32–1.68)
Giardia duodenalis	23 (14.4%)	18 (11.7%)	0.50 (0.480)	1.27 (0.66–2.46)
Enterocytozoon bieneusi	19 (11.9%)	34 (22.1%)	5.82 (0.016)*	0.48 (0.26–0.88)
E. bieneusi + G. duodenalis	10 (6.3%)	3 (1.9%)	3.66 (0.056)	3.36 (0.91–12.43)
