An additional six illnesses from Iowa were added to the case count of the Cyclospora outbreak occurring in the Midwestern United States. At least 87 people have now been sickened in Iowa. The other states involved or potentially involved in the outbreak — Nebraska, Texas, Illinois and Wisconsin — did not update their numbers today. There are still 53 confirmed illnesses in Nebraska, which are definitively tied to the Iowa illnesses. An additional 37 cases in Texas may be connected, and officials have said that an undisclosed number of illnesses also occurred in Illinois and Wisconsin. Investigators are still trying to determine the source of the outbreak, which is suspected to be a raw vegetable product.
