CYCLOSPORA CAUSE NOT CLEAR

Contrary to some press accounts singling out strawberries or raspberries,   
no
single food has been confirmed as the cause of the intestinal infections   
in
several hundred persons in 10 states associated with the pathogen   
Cyclospora
cayetanensis.  The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease
Control are working closely with state health authorities and industry to
identify potential routes of transmission and environmental sources of   
the
infection.
