Tennessee Faces Major Cyclosporiasis Outbreaks Tied to Travel

Tennessee health officials say the state is experiencing several large cyclosporiasis outbreaks, with Knox County reporting mostly travel-related cases. The CDC records 50–199 Tennessee cases since May 1, and Michigan has reported two deaths linked to the outbreak. Preventive steps include thorough washing of raw produce, refrigerating cut or cooked fruits and vegetables, and seeking medical care if symptoms such as explosive diarrhea occur.

Hidden parasite behind this summer’s stomach illness surge

CDC warns that many summer stomach bugs may actually be Cyclospora, a parasite that can cause longer, more severe diarrhea and cramping. Since May, the U.S. has logged over 1,600 domestic cases across 34 states, with thousands more under investigation. Diagnosis requires specific stool testing ordered by a clinician, and treatment with the antibiotic TMP-SMX can cure the infection, with emphasis on hydration and follow-up care.

Cyclospora parasite drives US-wide diarrheal outbreak, CDC reports

The CDC is investigating a summer surge of cyclosporiasis caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis, with about 145 people infected across multiple states. The main symptom is watery diarrhea, accompanied by loss of appetite, weight loss, cramping, bloating, nausea and fatigue. Infections are typically linked to contaminated food or water; there is no evidence of person-to-person spread, and most patients had not recently traveled outside the U.S. States including New York, Illinois and Texas report cases, and health authorities are continuing investigations as the cyclosporiasis season (roughly May-August) continues. No deaths have been reported.

First human brain infection traced to Australian parasite Ophidascaris robertsi

Doctors in Australia diagnosed a 64-year-old woman with a rare neural larva migrans caused by Ophidascaris robertsi, a parasite native to carpet pythons. After years of lung and organ lesions and progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms, a brain biopsy revealed the worm. She was treated with surgical removal followed by ivermectin and albendazole, plus dexamethasone, leading to resolution of lung and liver lesions and improved memory and mood.
