The worst cyclosporiasis outbreak in U.S. history continues, with an unknown number of cases nationwide.
In addition to the iceberg lettuce outbreak, FDA lists five other cyclospora outbreaks.
“We are absolutely dealing with multiple outbreaks,” says Don Schaffner, chair of the Department of Food Science at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Cases reported to states may result in higher counts because states include both probable and confirmed cases, CDC said.
The FDA and CDC continue to work together, using every available public health tool to identify additional sources of the outbreak and inform swift public health action."
