As the FDA adds cases to what it calls clusters of related Cyclospora cases, it would be useful to understand the basis used to determine their relatedness. Are cases being grouped together primarily based on matching exposure histories (time and place) — such as a suspected food vehicle and/or common point of service along with traceback convergence — or is the FDA incorporating some limited molecular characterization to compare variation across multiple genetic markers of

Unfortunately, every summer we experience Cyclospora outbreaks almost as routinely as hurricane season. That's unfortunate because, at some point, we need to stop viewing these outbreaks as expected, unavoidable seasonal events and start treating them as preventable incidents. Just like hurricane tracking, projections, and building standards have improved over time, so too should capabilities in regard to Cyclospora surveillance, detection, and prevention. But to do so more
