不过，当局仍在寻找其他潜在感染源。
据《邮报》援引密苏里州卫生部门一位发言人的话报道，该州报告了1095例病例，是此次新增的州之一。
《邮报》援引一位发言人的话称，接受州和地方调查人员问询的患者表示，他们在发病前曾在塔可贝尔餐厅就餐。
报道称，目前尚未获得另外五个新增州的相关信息，并补充道，这些知情人士因讨论正在进行的调查而要求匿名。
今年美国环孢子虫病病例数已升至创纪录水平，本次暴发是美国近年来由食源性疾病引发的最大规模疫情之一。感染该病菌会引发腹泻、恶心及其他胃肠道症状。
受灾最严重的密歇根州周二报告了11508例病例，较前一日的更新数据增加了200多例。
该州还报告了此次疫情关联的首例两例死亡病例，并称两名死者均存在严重基础疾病。
美国疾控中心的监测数据比各州报告滞后数周，截至7月28日，该机构已记录全国范围内6707例实验室确诊病例，以及超过11500例尚未通过实验室检测确认的疑似病例。

Aug 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. CDC is adding six more states to the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce, widening the number of affected states to 15, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing three individuals familiar with the investigation.
An FDA investigation linked the outbreak that has expanded to nine states to iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants and sourced from privately held Taylor Farms operations in central Mexico.

However, authorities are still looking for other potential sources.
Missouri, which is reporting 1,095 cases, is one of the states being added, the Post reported, citing a state health department spokesperson.
Patients who were interviewed by state and local investigators said they consumed Taco Bell before getting sick, the Post reported, citing a spokesperson.
Information was not immediately available about the five other states, the report said, adding that the individuals spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
U.S. cyclosporiasis cases have climbed to record levels this year, with the current outbreak among the largest caused by foodborne illness in recent U.S. history. The infection can cause diarrhea, nausea and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
Michigan, the hardest-hit state, reported 11,508 cases on Tuesday, up by more than 200 from the previous day’s update.
The state also reported the first two deaths associated with the outbreak, noting that both individuals had significant underlying health conditions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose surveillance lags state reporting by several weeks, has recorded 6,707 laboratory-confirmed cases nationwide, as of July 28, along with more than 11,500 suspected cases not yet confirmed through laboratory testing.
