The United Kingdom has reported dozens of cases of cyclosporiasis among travelers who had recently stayed at all‑inclusive resorts in Mexico's Riviera Maya and Cancún. Mexican health officials are investigating the cases but have not identified the country as the source of the outbreak, which has resulted in over 10,000 laboratory-confirmed cases in the U.S. and 67 infections in the UK.
The Mexican Health Ministry has deployed inspection teams to 16 hotels in Quintana Roo to test food, water, and produce for Cyclospora cayetanensis, a parasite that causes the infection. Health officials emphasize that cyclosporiasis is a recurrent worldwide issue and that there is no scientific evidence linking Mexico as the origin of this outbreak.
