Summary
678 cyclosporiasis cases have now been confirmed in Michigan, up from about 300 on Thursday, with most concentrated in the southeast including Wayne County.
Michigan officials say the count is likely to keep rising because symptoms can take one to two weeks to appear after exposure and some infected people are only now getting tested.
177 cases have been reported in Ohio across 43 counties, with 171 logged since June 20, pointing to a fast recent spread there as well.
Health officials suspect contaminated produce as the source, but no specific item or interstate link has been identified; CDC data separately showed 145 cases in 17 other states as of June 16, with 20 hospitalizations and no deaths.
