Cases of cyclosporiasis, a diarrheal illness caused by a parasite, are rising in Florida as part of a broader increase reported across the United States. State health officials have reported 154 confirmed cases, along with four additional suspected cases.
Miami-Dade County is leading Florida in confirmed infections, according to the report. The county’s position at the top of the case count highlights South Florida as a key area of concern as public health officials continue monitoring the spread.
The latest figures show that Florida is seeing a notable share of the national uptick in cyclosporiasis cases. While the available report does not detail every local breakdown, the statewide total suggests health agencies are closely tracking both confirmed and suspected infections.
Cyclosporiasis is known for causing diarrhea and related gastrointestinal illness. With confirmed cases continuing to climb in Florida, the trend in Miami-Dade is drawing particular attention as health authorities follow developments statewide.
