The Return of <i>Cyclospora</i> in 1997: Another Outbreak of Cyclosporiasis in North America Associated with Imported Raspberries

Abstract

Similar multistate, multicluster outbreaks of cyclosporiasis associated with consumption of Guatemalan raspberries have occurred in consecutive years. These outbreaks highlight the need for better understanding of the biology and epidemiology of Cyclospora cayetanensis and for stronger prevention and control measures to ensure the safety of produce eaten raw.
