Summary
The health authority in Michigan said on Friday, there were already more than 1,500 cases registered. The CDC wrote of reports from 31 of the 50 US states. As a rule, according to the authority there are only about 50 cases per year.
Furthermore, This was not a clear deviation from typical for the season case numbers, it said. But that alone is not evidence of a real outbreak. What is the source of the current outbreak and whether the cases are related is still unclear.
In addition, The parasite, called Cyclospora cayetanensis, is not normally transmitted directly from person to person, but via food or water contaminated with faeces, according to the United States Central Health Administration (CDC). “Cyclospora affects the small intestine and usually causes aqueous diarrhea with frequent and sometimes explosive defecation,” the CDC writes. Therefore, they are fresh in the stool not infectious and a direct transmission from person to person does not happen.
