Cyclospora outbreak could linger, infectious disease experts say

USA Today: Amy Edwards, assistant profess of pediatrics and infectious disease specialist, doesn't see the Cyclospora outbreaking ending anytime soon. "I can't see a way where we’re near the end, as typically most cases are narrow in scope and can be as short as one week or as long as three weeks. There could be more than one type of contamination, more than one type of food, and with such a spread like this, it becomes harder to remove the source and harder to get the outbreak under control," said Edwards.
