- Ask Dr. Nandi: What to know about Cyclosporiasis and swimming pools
Cyclosporiasis cases in Michigan are rising, with no identified source.

Cyclospora can survive in recreational water for extended periods, is resistant to chlorine, and requires 1-2 weeks in the environment to become infectious.
