The Southern Nevada Health District announced Friday that it has identified an additional case of cyclosporiasis in a Clark County resident.
The agency said that the individual likely acquired the disease while traveling to a state associated with the ongoing multistate outbreak.
“At this time, there is no evidence that the exposure occurred in Clark County or elsewhere in Nevada,” health officials noted in a news release.
The agency advised that have now been nine confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis reported in Clark County since Jan. 1. Of those, according to officials, three are travel-associated cases linked to the ongoing multi-state outbreak.
In an effort to provide information in one place, the health district has launched a dedicated cyclosporiasis page on its website.
