據美國食品安全新聞網消息，自6月美國出現環孢子蟲疫情以來，感染人數已超過591人，患者分布在19個州。
在本次疫情中，感染人數最多的3個州分別為德克薩斯州、愛荷華州、內布拉斯加州。目前已查明愛荷華州與內布拉斯加州的疫情與袋裝沙拉有關，美國衛生部門仍在調查其他州的疫情是否也與這有關。
部分原文報道如下：
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.
