> Ohio continues to see more new cyclosporiasis cases, with the number more than tripling in the past week amid a nationwide outbreak. Meanwhile, officials attempt to discover where the parasite that causes the illness might be hiding as those infected deal explosive diarrhea and other symptoms.
> As of July 16, the Ohio Department of Health is reporting 1,192 cases of cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal illness caused by a parasite known as cyclospora cayatenensis, in 70 counties so far in 2026, with 86 people hospitalized. That's up from 364 cases in 51 counties as of July 9. All but nine of those cases occurred in June and July, mostly since June 20.
> The most cases in Ohio are in Lucas County in the northwest portion of the state, which reports 249, up from 86 the previous week. Wood County, just to the south of Lucas, reports 129 cases, up from 49.
> Only Michigan has more than Ohio, reporting more than 3,300 cases since June 22, the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported July 14. Nationwide, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have confirmed 1,645 cases of cyclosporiasis with another 5,100 additional cases being investigated.
> So far, no source has been confirmed, although Michigan health officials have zeroed in on lettuce and salad greens. The CDC has confirmed Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia and Kentucky are linked in a multistate outbreak of the parasite.
