Federal Cyclospora Research Halted Amid Outbreak

The Trump administration is discontinuing crucial research on Cyclospora, despite an unprecedented nationwide outbreak of the parasite, as reported by Politico.

Of the three primary research programs at the USDA, two have lost funding, and the third is set to lose its scientists. The USDA's Beltsville Agricultural Research Center is closing, with remaining work moving to Iowa, but no current scientists are willing to relocate.
