# Colorado Taco del GNAR linked in Nationwide Cyclospora Outbreak

 

 

 **Marler Clark, the Cyclospora lawyers, represent 12 victims in the Taco del GNAR outbreak in Colorado.**

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is currently investigating an outbreak of Cyclospora on the Western Slope. As of June 15, 2023 there have been 62 cases reported in Colorado since May 1, 2023. These cases have not resulted in any hospitalizations or deaths. Historically, Colorado has averaged 63 cases per year between 2017 and 2022. CDPHE is the lead agency on this investigation and is working closely with Ouray County Public Health to identify a possible source of the outbreak. CDPHE has communicated information about this outbreak to health care providers throughout the state. Health care providers must report all cases of cyclosporiasis to public health within four days.

At this time, public health officials have identified approximately 45 people who are likely associated with the outbreak who dined at the same restaurant, Tacos del GNAR, in Ridgway. People affected reported dining at Taco del GNAR since May 1, 2023. Cyclospora outbreaks are typically the result of contaminated product — usually produce — in the supply chain rather than a result of food handling and/or cleaning practices at the restaurant. Taco del GNAR is partnering with CDPHE in all aspects of the investigation. When informed of the outbreak, Taco del GNAR disposed of and replaced all produce within the facility with different products.

Anyone who dined at Taco del GNAR since May 1, 2023, and experienced or is still experiencing symptoms such as watery diarrhea should contact a health care provider as soon as possible to get tested for Cyclospora, which is typically treated with antibiotics. People who ate at the restaurant since May 1, 2023, whether they became ill or not, are asked to complete [an online survey](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__redcap.link_j03vjojx&d=DwMFaQ&c=sdnEM9SRGFuMt5z5w3AhsPNahmNicq64TgF1JwNR0cs&r=g6eyjbzw4wPOF_LQ4ZewPF26kFe4kIuTuJfEtNUOz2M&m=cQdRBfoHSUUnHkK9hhE4MQeBlGoah5yrIc0ZGlb4SPE7oU4CBc4RVVF1J0aL3OUA&s=HlR9iXDmDY9nslv9z1prpeS0M7Th8dePaQLz4u8ed4k&e=) to help public health with the investigation into the cause of this outbreak.

This is an update on the number of illnesses acquired in the United States with onset on or after April 1, 2023. Cases continue to be reported. States reporting cases: Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, New York, South Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia.

No specific food items have been identified as the source of most of these illnesses. State and local public health officials are interviewing people with cyclosporiasis to find out what foods they ate before getting sick.

As of July 11, 2023, a total of 581 laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis in people who had not traveled outside the United States during the 14 days before they got sick have been reported from 32 jurisdictions, including 31 states and New York City. This is an increase of 371 cases since the last update on June 22, 2023.

- Hospitalizations: 55
- Deaths: 0
- States reporting cases: 31
- Investigation status: Active

Sick people range in age from 3 to 96 years, with a median age of 49, and 61% are female. The median illness onset date is May 28, 2023 (range: April 1 to July 2). Of 569 people with information available, 55 have been hospitalized. Zero deaths have been reported.

The total number of laboratory-confirmed cases reported since April 1, 2023, includes 20 cases in Georgia and Alabama linked to an [outbreak associated with raw imported broccoli](https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cyclosporiasis/outbreaks/2023/index.html#outbreaks). Although FDA and state and local partners conducted traceback investigations, there was not enough information to identify a specific type or producer of the broccoli.

- The broccoli outbreak appears to be over. There is no indication at this time that broccoli continues to be a source of illness for other cyclosporiasis cases being reported in the United States.

Multiple potential clusters of cases are being investigated by state and local public health authorities, CDC, and FDA. No specific food(s) have yet been identified as the cause of these clusters, and investigations to identify a potential source (or sources) are ongoing.

**What you need to know about Cyclospora**

*Cyclospora* is a parasite composed of one cell, too small to be seen without a microscope. The organism was previously thought to be a blue-green alga or a large form of *Cryptosporidium*. *Cyclospora* *cayetanensis* is the only species of this organism found in humans.

 ![](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/files/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-10.54.11-AM-650x333.png)Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the parasite *Cyclospora cayetanensis*, which is transmissible by ingestion of fecally contaminated food or water.[\[1\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn1)Cyclosporiasis is most common in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In the United States, foodborne outbreaks of cyclosporiasis have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce (e.g., basil, raspberries, and snow peas). Validated molecular typing tools, which could facilitate detection and investigation of outbreaks, are not yet available for *C. cayetanensis*.

Outbreaks of cyclosporiasis in humans have been reported mostly from North America, from the infection sources of contaminated fresh food products, such as soft fruits (raspberries), leafy vegetables (coriander, basil, and mixed salad), and herbs. Soil is another possible infection source, particularly in areas with poor environmental sanitation.[\[2\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn2)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been conducting national surveillance for cyclosporiasis since it became a nationally notifiable disease in January 1999. As of 2015, cyclosporiasis was a reportable condition in 42 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City (NYC). Health departments voluntarily notify CDC of cases of cyclosporiasis through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System and submit additional case information using the CDC cyclosporiasis case report form or the Cyclosporiasis National Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire (CNHGQ).[\[3\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn3)

While cyclosporiasis cases are reported year-round in the United States, cyclosporiasis acquired in the United States (i.e., “domestically acquired,” or cases of cyclosporiasis that are not associated with travel to a country that is considered endemic for *Cyclospora*) is most common during the spring and summer months. The exact timing and duration of U.S. cyclosporiasis seasons can vary, but reports tend to increase starting in May. In 2020, multiple outbreaks of cyclosporiasis were identified and found to be linked to different produce items. As of September 23, 2020, the CDC documented 1,241 laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis in people who had no history of international travel during the 14-day period before illness onset.[\[4\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn4)

**What are the typical symptoms of *Cyclospora* infection?**

*Cyclospora* infects the small intestine (bowel) and usually causes watery diarrhea, bloating, increased gas, stomach cramps, and loss of appetite, nausea, low-grade fever, and fatigue. In some cases, vomiting, explosive diarrhea, muscle aches, and substantial weight loss can occur. Some people who are infected with *Cyclospora* do not have any symptoms. The time between becoming infected and becoming ill is usually about one week. If not treated, the illness may last from a few days up to six weeks. Symptoms also may recur one or more times (relapse). In addition, people who have previously been infected with *Cyclospora* can become infected again.[\[5\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn5)

**Where does *Cyclospora* come from?**

The modes of transmission of *C. cayetanensis* are still not completely documented, although fecal–oral transmission is the major route. Direct person-to-person transmission is unlikely. Indirect transmission can occur if an infected person contaminates the environment, the oocysts sporulate under the right conditions, and then contaminated food and water are ingested. The role of soil in transmission has also been proposed. The relative importance of these various modes of transmission and sources of infection is not known.[\[6\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn6)

 ![](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/files/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-10.55.51-AM-484x650.png)The dissemination of infective *Cyclospora* oocysts via water, soil, and unprocessed foods (e.g., fruits and vegetables, including ready-to-eat salads) is enabled by their small size (8–10 μm), low specific gravity, and high infectivity. Such oocysts can survive for weeks to months in water and food, depending on the environmental temperature, and are resistant to the routine sanitization or chemical disinfection procedures used in irrigation systems, recreational waters, or drinking water treatment plants.[\[7\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn7)

 ![](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/files/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-03-at-10.56.53-AM-650x633.png)**How is *Cyclospora* diagnosed?**

Cyclosporiasis is usually diagnosed symptomatically in clinical settings, including the presence of watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and bloating. In untreated, immunocompetent people, the diarrhea can last from days to weeks to a month or more, and can wax and wane, with variable oocyst shedding. Oocysts can continue to be shed (intermittently or continuously) by non-symptomatic people, and symptoms can also persist in the absence of oocysts in feces. In a clinical context, conventional diagnosis usually involves microscopic examination of intestinal tissue biopsy sections, stool samples for the presence of developmental stages of *Cyclospora*, or advanced molecular testing for DNA. Improved specificity and sensitivity have been possible largely through the use of PCR, which enables the specific amplification of genetic loci from tiny amounts of genomic DNA of *Cyclospora*. Because of the intermittent nature of oocyst shedding and the low numbers of this stage in feces, it is recommended that multiple stool samples be collected at 2–3 day intervals over a period of more than a week, to increase the likelihood of identifying the disease microscopically.[\[8\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn8)

**What are the serious and long-term risks of *Cyclospora* infection?**

*Cyclospora* has been associated with a variety of chronic complications such as malabsorption, reactive arthritis, and cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). Since *Cyclospora* infections tend to respond to the appropriate treatment, complications are more likely to occur in individuals who are not treated or not treated promptly. Extraintestinal infection also appears to occur more commonly in individuals with a compromised immune system.[\[9\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn9)

Although human cyclosporiasis is usually not fatal in developed countries such as the United States, protracted diarrhea often leads to dehydration, particularly in infants who are at greatest risk of severe dehydration and death, especially if cyclosporiasis is complicated by infections with other pathogens (viral, bacterial, or parasitic—e.g., *Cryptosporidium* and *Giardia*), malnutrition, or malabsorption, particularly in underprivileged communities.[\[10\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn10)

According to the CDC[\[11\]](https://www.cyclosporablog.com/page/2/#_ftn11), the recommended treatment is a combination of two antibiotics, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, also known as Bactrim, Septra, or Cotrim. It is advisable for people who have diarrhea to also rest and drink plenty of fluids.
