Federal health agencies are currently monitoring a rise in cyclosporiasis cases in the United States, which is caused by the Cyclospora parasite.

聯邦衛生機構目前正監控美國圓孢子蟲病（cyclosporiasis）病例上升的情況，該病是由圓孢子蟲引起的。

Health data shows that 145 confirmed infections have occurred across 17 states. New York has the highest number of cases, followed by Texas and Illinois. The affected people range in age from 5 to 86, with a median age of 42, and 61% of the patients are female. Common symptoms include long-term watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea. While some people recover on their own, many require antibiotics. So far, 20 people have been hospitalized, although there have been no deaths.

健康數據顯示，17 個州共有 145 例確診感染。紐約州的病例數最高，其次是德州和伊利諾州。受影響者年齡介於 5 至 86 歲之間，中位數為 42 歲，且 61% 的患者為女性。常見症狀包括長期水樣腹瀉、胃痙攣和噁心。雖然有些人能自行康復，但許多人需要使用抗生素。到目前為止，已有 20 人住院，但尚未有死亡病例。

Experts emphasize that this increase matches the typical seasonal pattern seen between May 1 and August 31. Although the parasite is common in tropical regions, most affected people have not traveled recently. Consequently, this suggests that contaminated produce distributed within the U.S. is the cause. The CDC noted that because routine lab tests often miss the parasite, the actual number of cases is likely much higher than reported. Furthermore, while there are several clusters of cases across different states, the CDC asserts that there is no evidence of a single source linking all infections. Past outbreaks were linked to imported herbs and fruit, such as basil and raspberries, but the specific cause of the current cases has not yet been found.

專家強調，這次增長符合 5 月 1 日至 8 月 31 日之間典型的季節性模式。雖然該寄生蟲在熱帶地區很常見，但大多數受影響者近期並未旅行。因此，這表明原因是美國國內分發的受污染農產品。CDC 指出，由於常規實驗室檢測經常漏檢該寄生蟲，實際病例數可能遠高於報告數。此外，儘管不同州之間存在數個病例集群，但 CDC 斷言沒有證據顯示所有感染都與單一來源相關。過去的爆發與進口香草和水果（如羅勒和覆盆子）有關，但目前病例的具體原因尚未找到。

The CDC, FDA, and state authorities are continuing to search for the source of the infections and advise the public to see a doctor if they experience symptoms.

CDC、FDA 和州政府當局正繼續搜尋感染源，並建議公眾若出現症狀請就醫。
