Abstract
In the early 1990s, most Cyclospora-related foodborne outbreaks implicated imported berries, particularly raspberries, but in the last 3 years, salad greens, and herbs have been responsible for more than 1500 cases in the US and Canada, and salad products have also been implicated in the few outbreaks in Europe. The primary route of transmission is ingestion of contaminated foods or water, however there is still a need to better understand how these pathogens are introduced in these matrices and why certain fruits and vegetables are better reservoirs than others. This chapter will address the known and potential routes of transmission.
