Quebec says there is an increase in cyclosporiasis cases, a parasitic illness causing severe diarrhea

2026-07-15 from ctvnews.ca

Quebec’s health ministry says there has been an increase in cyclosporiasis cases this year in the province.

The intestinal illness is caused by the Cyclospora parasite, leading to severe, watery diarrhea.

There have been 85 cases reported in 2026, compared to 30 cases in 2025 for the same period, the health ministry told CTV News in an email.

They say that between 2022 and 2025, there was an average of 32 cases yearly.

However, Quebec’s health ministry says no cases appear to be associated with the ongoing outbreak in Michigan.
