据美国食品安全新闻网消息，自6月美国出现环孢子虫疫情以来，感染人数已超过591人，患者分布在19个州。
在本次疫情中，感染人数最多的3个州分别为德克萨斯州、爱荷华州、内布拉斯加州。目前已查明爱荷华州与内布拉斯加州的疫情与袋装沙拉有关，美国卫生部门仍在调查其他州的疫情是否也与这有关。

At least 591 people in 19 states have fallen ill with Cyclospora infection since June.
These counts are based off data collected from the U.S. Centers from Disease Control and calls made to individual state health departments.
The illnesses in Iowa and Nebraska are linked to salad grown by Taylor Farms de Mexico and served at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants. Investigators are still working to determine if the illnesses in other states are connected.
