Cyclosporiasis Fact Sheet
(PDF 20 KB)

Cyclosporiasis is a diarrheal illness caused by a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora.

Cyclospora has been found throughout the world, but it is more common in developing countries.

Illnesses have been associated with travelers to Asia, the Carribean, and parts of Latin and South America. 

Recent outbreaks in the United States and Canada have been linked to various types of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
