HURRICANES

Multiple states are investigating cases of domestically acquired cyclosporiasis. Since May 1, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received reports of 1,645 confirmed domestic cases of cyclosporiasis and is aware of more than 5,100 cases that require further analysis to confirm the illness as domestically acquired cyclosporiasis. This is substantially higher than the 249 cases reported nationally by this same time last year. Of the 1,645 case-patients with available information, 141 (9%) were hospitalized, and none have died. CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and state and local health departments are working together to investigate multistate outbreaks of Cyclospora infections and to identify the sources of illness. Because cyclosporiasis is often underdiagnosed and underreported, the true number of illnesses is likely higher than what has been reported to CDC.
