July 22 (Reuters) – The U.S. FDA has said it \u2060is \u2060investigating a new outbreak \u2060of cyclosporiasis, with 72 cases tied to an as-yet-unidentified source.<\/p>\n

\n

The agency’s \u200bannouncement on Wednesday adds to the growing number of cyclosporiasis cases reported across the U.S. \u200cMidwest, including Michigan and four \u200cother states.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The Food and Drug Administration said it has initiated a traceback to \u2060identify the \u2060source of the latest outbreak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by \u200bthe cyclospora parasite. People can become infected after eating or drinking contaminated food or water and symptoms can include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea and fatigue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The CDC has identified 4,173 laboratory-confirmed, domestically \u200bacquired cyclosporiasis cases in the United States since May 1 and is investigating \u2060more than \u20607,400 additional reported infections \u2060that have \u200byet to be laboratory confirmed, many of them in Michigan and Ohio. The figures \u200bcome as Michigan has \u2060reported 7,171 cases so far this year, while Ohio has also recorded a sharp rise in infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Regulators have linked the broader spread in the Midwest, the largest foodborne illness outbreak in the U.S. in recent years, to a Taylor Farms plant in \u2060Mexico.<\/p>\n

\n

On July 17, Taylor Farms recalled iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico. The \u2060recall includes lettuce sold in retail stores, served in restaurants and distributed to food service customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, Mexico said on Tuesday there was no evidence yet to suggest that lettuce sourced from it caused the outbreak in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The outbreak has also affected restaurant operators. Shares of Yum Brands fell nearly 10% last week after reports linked Taco Bell to the spread of the illness, although analysts have said the impact on the chain’s sales is \u2060unlikely to cause lasting damage. Taco Bell has since stopped using lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Cyclospora infections typically spike in the U.S. during the spring and summer months as warmer climates help the parasite thrive, often leading \u200bto multistate investigations by health authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
