Summary
More than 11,500 cyclosporiasis cases have now been reported across 41 states, sharply above the 4,173 infections the CDC has laboratory confirmed.
At least 7,400 additional cases are still awaiting confirmation, with many of those reports coming from Michigan and Ohio.
The confirmed tally includes 308 hospitalizations, underscoring the scale of what the CDC has already called a record U.S. year for Cyclospora infections.
Earlier CDC reporting tied one outbreak of 1,644 cases to shredded iceberg lettuce from central Mexico, part of a food- and waterborne parasite surge that remains under investigation.
