Virginia Cyclosporiasis Cases Dip | Virginia Beach News

Virginia’s cyclosporiasis cases dipped last week, with 47 new infections reported — down from the prior week — though total cases hit 162, up 36 from before. Eighty-nine cases were local, 36 tied to international travel, and 37 remain under investigation. The parasite, spread via contaminated iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico (recall issued July 17), has sickened over 6,700 nationwide. While still above Virginia’s five-year average of 116 cases annually, the slight decline is a welcome sign as officials monitor the outbreak.
