特朗普政府已关闭美国农业部在贝茨维尔农业研究中心进行的两个环孢子虫研究项目，原因是从2026财政年度开始国会未拨款1。第三个相关项目因美国农业部重组而面临从马里兰州搬迁至爱荷华州，导致所有从事该研究的科学家拒绝随之搬迁1。
此举发生之际，美国正面临近期历史上规模最大的食源性疾病爆发之一1。美国疾病控制与预防中心已记录从2024年5月1日至8月24日期间，48个州及华盛顿特区共有超过17000例确诊环孢子虫病例，另有至少11844例需要进一步调查和分析1。与此同时，从事食源性寄生虫研究的科学家正在从美国农业部农业研究局退休或离职1。
The Trump administration has shuttered two of three cyclospora research projects at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with both programs losing funding from Congress starting in fiscal year 2026 1. The third remaining project is being relocated from Maryland to Iowa as part of USDA restructuring, but all scientists engaged in cyclospora research have refused to relocate 1.
The decision comes as the United States faces one of its largest foodborne disease outbreaks in recent history 1. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documented more than 17,000 confirmed cyclospora cases across 48 states and Washington, D.C., between May 1 and August 24, 2024 1. An additional 11,844 cases remain under investigation and analysis 1. Scientists working on foodborne parasitic diseases have begun retiring from or leaving the USDA's Agricultural Research Service in response to these developments 1.
