Documented Foodborne Outbreaks of Infection with Cyclospora cayetanensis

Abstract
Since the characterization of Cyclospora in 1992, foodborne outbreaks have been reported with increasing frequency worldwide. The developed world has often experienced outbreaks of cyclosporiasis that have been associated with consumption of fresh products that have been imported from an endemic location for Cyclospora, particularly Central or South America. In several instances, the products had not produced following Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Good Hygienic Practice (GHP), Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) (see Chap. 7). As a result of these outbreaks, importation from implicated crops have been denied port of entry and import alerts have been issued.
