CDC Releases Interactive Map Tracking Explosive Diarrhea Illness Across 34 States

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released an updated interactive map tracking confirmed cases of cyclospora, a parasite that causes the intestinal illness cyclosporiasis, after an increase in cases reported across the United States.

As of July 13, the CDC has received reports of 1,645 laboratory-confirmed domestically acquired cases spanning 34 states. The agency said 141 people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported. The agency has received a total of 6,700 confirmed or probable cases.

    Because of the increase in illnesses, the CDC says it will publish surveillance updates more frequently than in previous years while federal and state health officials continue investigating multiple outbreaks.

    The agency noted that the number of cases shown on its map is likely lower than the true number of illnesses. That's because some people recover without seeking medical care or aren't tested for cyclospora, while state health departments may also have more current data than what's reflected in the CDC's national surveillance system.

    Cyclospora cases typically increase during the May through August season, but officials say multiple jurisdictions are reporting more illnesses than they saw during the same period in 2025. The CDC also expects case counts to continue climbing because there is approximately a six-week reporting lag between when someone becomes ill and when cases are reported to the agency.

    The CDC and the Food and Drug Administration are currently investigating several outbreaks to determine whether illnesses are linked to a common food source. One ongoing investigation has linked shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in five states to a multistate outbreak, though officials say other investigations remain ongoing.

    Cyclosporiasis is caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. Symptoms can include watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, loss of appetite and weight loss. Anyone experiencing symptoms should contact a healthcare provider, as the illness can be diagnosed and treated.
