Cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite, is being reported across much of the United States. ABC News and CBS News each describe an ongoing expansion of cases into roughly three dozen states. ABC’s tally says cases are currently confirmed in nearly 32 states, while CBS reports they are found in 31 states. Both outlets frame the situation as a widespread outbreak with health officials still working to determine the specific source.
Cyclosporiasis can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but the outlets’ coverage centers on the geographic spread rather than clinical details. CBS notes that officials have not yet identified the exact origin of the outbreak. Together, the reports indicate that case counts continue to rise as additional states confirm infections, while investigators remain focused on tracing how the parasite is being transmitted. The reporting reflects an active public-health monitoring effort and an evolving map of confirmed locations.
