Further to Current note 50/3201 (at http://www.hps.scot.nhs.uk/ewr/redirect.aspx?id=69011), Cyclospora cases linked with travel to Mexico continue to be reported. Since 1 June there have been 265 cases of cyclosporiasis recorded across the UK, with 193 reporting travel to Mexico (94 from Scotland , 87 from England, and 12 across the rest of the United Kingdom). HPS is collaborating with PHE to monitor and investigate the situation and is urging travellers to the Riveria Maya coast in Mexico to take careful precautions with food, water and personal hygiene. A leaflet for travellers has been produced which can be accessed on the Public Health England website at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cyclospora-advice-for-travellers.
