USDA cancels Cyclospora studies during significant parasite surge
With more than 17,000 cases reported in a widespread Cyclospora outbreak, the USDA has halted two research initiatives focused on the foodborne parasite following a reduction in congressional funding. The only project left is being transferred to Iowa, though the scientists currently working on it have declined to move. These interruptions have sparked worries regarding how the lack of research will affect efforts to combat the rising gastrointestinal illness.
