Un brote de diarrea explosiva causado por el par\u00e1sito Cyclospora cayetanensis afecta ya a 34 estados de Estados Unidos y podr\u00eda llegar a M\u00e9xico en las pr\u00f3ximas semanas, advirti\u00f3 este mi\u00e9rcoles el infect\u00f3logo Alejandro Mac\u00edas. El especialista se\u00f1al\u00f3 que ha atendido casos de este par\u00e1sito en territorio nacional, aunque aclar\u00f3 que la informaci\u00f3n oficial de la Direcci\u00f3n General de Epidemiolog\u00eda a\u00fan no refleja un aumento significativo. <\/p>\n
Los Centros para el Control y la Prevenci\u00f3n de Enfermedades (CDC) reportaron 1,645 casos confirmados desde mayo, cifra que cuadruplica la registrada en el mismo periodo de 2025. La investigaci\u00f3n para determinar la fuente de contaminaci\u00f3n contin\u00faa abierta. <\/p>\n
El par\u00e1sito no se transmite de persona a persona, ya que requiere madurar aproximadamente una semana en el ambiente antes de volverse infectante. Su principal v\u00eda de contagio es el agua de riego que abastece cultivos de vegetales de hoja verde. Mac\u00edas advirti\u00f3 que las condiciones de temperatura y humedad propias de la temporada de lluvias en M\u00e9xico favorecen la propagaci\u00f3n del par\u00e1sito. <\/p>\n
\u201cEst\u00e1n dadas las circunstancias, sobre todo en la temperatura y en la humedad de los tiempos de lluvias. Es perfectamente posible que llegue\u201d, afirm\u00f3 el especialista en entrevista con Uno TV. <\/p>\n
El brote comenz\u00f3 a dispararse desde el 22 de junio, con estados como Michigan registrando un aumento sin precedentes: mientras que normalmente reporta alrededor de 50 casos al a\u00f1o, en pocas semanas alcanz\u00f3 casi 1,000, el mayor brote en la historia de esa entidad. <\/p>\n
En M\u00e9xico, los vegetales de mayor riesgo son la lechuga, el cilantro y el perejil, debido a su contacto directo con el agua de riego. Aunque Mac\u00edas calific\u00f3 como anecd\u00f3ticos los casos detectados en el pa\u00eds, colegas suyos han confirmado la presencia del par\u00e1sito, lo que subraya la importancia de fortalecer la vigilancia epidemiol\u00f3gica y las medidas de control en la producci\u00f3n agr\u00edcola. <\/p>\n
Este escenario resalta la necesidad de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas que garanticen la seguridad alimentaria y el acceso a sistemas de riego controlados, aspectos en los que la modernizaci\u00f3n del transporte y la infraestructura urbana, como el cableb\u00fas en zonas metropolitanas, pueden contribuir indirectamente al desarrollo sostenible y la salud p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
