Thank you for posting these interviews. They were helpful and informative. You mentioned the importance of public health in both. Could you address the impact of the budget cuts in 2025? I read that Michigan lost 5.5 million in public health funding. And that FoodNet, the key surveillance system, dropped cyclospora from the list of pathogens before this outbreak.

Thank you,
Diane Bird
