**Cyclosporiasis**, caused by the parasite *Cyclospora cayetanensis*, spreads primarily through contaminated fresh produce and shows strong seasonality, with CDC defining the U.S. surveillance period as May 1–August 31. As of mid-August 2026, CDC reports 13,895 laboratory-confirmed domestically acquired cases since May 1—far exceeding the 1,180 total for the full 2025 season—with at least 10,455 additional cases under investigation. A major multistate outbreak tied to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico has driven much of the surge, particularly in Midwestern states, though new case reports have slowed in recent weeks following recalls and investigations. Market-implied odds will likely hinge on final CDC tallies released after August 31, any late-season clusters, and adjustments for underreporting typical of this illness. Traders should monitor CDC surveillance updates for shifts in confirmed counts or new outbreak linkages before season-end.
