Abstract: The goal of the Cyclosporiasis National Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire (CNHGQ) is to improve consistency of data collection (of pertinent exposure variables for Cyclospora), and thereby increase the likelihood that future outbreaks of cyclosporiasis will be recognized and that vehicles/sources will be identified (implicated). This Revision incorporates an adjustment to the respondent numbers.
