Overview
People of all ages are at risk for infection. Persons living or traveling in tropical or subtropical regions may be at increased risk because cyclosporiasis is endemic in some developing countries. Foodborne outbreaks of cyclosporiasis in the United States and Canada have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce.
Risk Factors
- Contaminated water or food
- Imported produce
- Low socioeconomic status
- Poor sanitation
- Recent history of travel to endemic areas
- Residence in endemic areas[1]
