美国密歇根州卫生部门确认了与环孢子虫疫情相关的首两例死亡病例[1]。这种寄生虫疾病已扩散至全国45个州，全国累计报告近7000例实验室确诊病例[1]。其中密歇根州记录超过11000例病例和193例住院[1]。
此次疫情与来自墨西哥泰勒农场进口的生菜相关[1]。泰勒农场已宣布自愿召回来自中墨西哥的生菜产品[1]，连锁快餐品牌塔可钟已将该供应商的生菜从菜单中移除[1]。美国疾病控制与预防中心建议消费者在流水下清洗所有农产品，并推荐将食品烹饪至至少70°C以杀死寄生虫[1]。此外，英国卫生官员已针对从感染地区返乡的旅客病例发出警告[1]。
Michigan health authorities have confirmed the first two deaths associated with a cyclosporiasis outbreak caused by a parasitic infection [1]. The outbreak has spread across 45 states, with nearly 7,000 laboratory-confirmed cases reported nationwide [1]. Michigan alone has recorded over 11,000 cases and 193 hospitalizations [1].
The outbreak has been traced to imported lettuce from Taylor Farms in Mexico [1]. Major fast-food chains including Taco Bell have removed the supplier's lettuce products from their menus [1], and Taylor Farms has announced a voluntary recall of lettuce sourced from central Mexico [1]. The CDC recommends washing all produce under running water and cooking items to at least 70°C (158°F) to eliminate the parasite [1]. Health officials in the United Kingdom have also issued warnings regarding cases detected in returning travelers [1].
