A cyclospora outbreak has sickened at least 81 people in Iowa and 53 in Nebraska, as well as an unknown number of people in neighboring Midwestern states, according to the state health departments in Iowa and Nebraska.
Nebraska state epidemiologist Dr. Tom Safranek said he knew of additional Cyclospora infections in Wisconsin, Illinois and Texas. Investigators are still working to determine where those infections were contracted and whether they are part of this outbreak or isolated incidences.
