> An outbreak caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora has reached 47 US states. More than 10,000 cases have been reported, with over 500 people hospitalized and two deaths recorded. Several sources of fresh produce are suspected of helping spread the parasite. The infection causes explosive diarrhea. The report also examines whether the cases stem from one outbreak or several and questions lettuce as a possible source.
