New Mexico has four confirmed cases of the diarrhea-causing parasite cyclosporiasis, but state health officials say there is no reason for alarm despite outbreaks elsewhere in the country.

"There is no increase in cases here in New Mexico. Other states are seeing a big increase in cases, but in New Mexico the numbers are tracking right where they should be," said Sarah Shrum Davis, an infectious disease epidemiology supervisor with the state Department of Health.

Shrum Davis said New Mexico averages about eight cases of cyclosporiasis each year.

"Four cases are right on track for where we would expect to be at this time of year," she said.

Some of the cases are linked to travel, but none appear to be connected to the larger U.S. outbreak.

"We tend to see higher proportions of cyclosporiasis in tropical regions," Shrum Davis said. "Several of our cases involved travel to tropical regions, so they most likely acquired it there."

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. The parasite spreads through food or water contaminated with feces from an infected person, most often through fresh produce, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Multiple states have reported outbreaks of cyclosporiasis, with Michigan reporting 1,562 cases as of Friday. The state historically averages about 50 cases a year, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

With cases rising nationwide, the New Mexico Department of Health is closely monitoring the outbreak.

The department recommends thoroughly washing fresh produce and washing hands before preparing or serving food to help prevent cyclosporiasis and other diarrheal illnesses.
