Can’t Find the Cause of Cyclospora Infections

There Are 206 Cases of Cyclospora Infections , 102 in Iowa, 42 in Texas, and 62 Nebraska are now active.
While the illnesses in Iowa and Nebraska are known to be connected, investigators are still trying to determine if the illnesses in Texas are related or an isolated outbreak.
Officials suspect additional illnesses in Wisconsin and Illinois may be connected as well, though little information has been released about outbreaks in those two states.

Investigators in Iowa and Nebraska are still working to pinpoint the source of the outbreak, which they suspect to be a raw vegetable product. They believe whatever is causing the outbreak that it is no longer in Iowa. The last big outbreak turned out to be caused by raspberries.
