Summary
California logged 41 provisional cyclosporiasis cases from January through June, down from 80 a year earlier, and state health officials said there are no known local outbreaks.
CDPH said the 2026 tally is within expected ranges for California, where most cases are typically acquired internationally, and none of the current cases are tied to outbreaks in other states.
Nationwide, roughly 7,000 cases are under review, including more than 1,600 confirmed, and the CDC warned doctors and the public to expect more cases through the end of August.
Michigan has reported more than 3,300 cases, with officials preliminarily pointing to lettuce or salad greens as a possible common source, though no specific produce, grower or supplier has been identified.
The outbreak is on track to become the largest on record, underscoring California's advice to wash produce thoroughly and follow food-safety practices even as the state avoids the current surge.
