Key Points:
- Nearly 75% of Texas' confirmed cyclosporiasis cases this year are concentrated in two public health regions: Region 11 and Region 6/5S, which includes Harris County and Houston.

- Discrepancies exist between local and state case counts, such as in Dallas and Harris counties, likely due to differences in reporting databases and potential delays.
