Trump admin shelves Cyclospora research despite record-breaking outbreak
摘要
特朗普政府叫停了对食源性寄生虫环孢子虫的关键联邦研究，尽管该病原体正引发创纪录的全国性疫情。据Politico报道，美国农业部三项涵盖几乎所有环孢子虫研究项目中，两项已被取消经费，第三项即将失去全部科研人员。政府正关闭位于华盛顿特区附近的贝尔茨维尔农业研究中心，并将工作迁至爱荷华州，包括剩余环孢子虫研究。知情人士称，现有项目科学家均不打算随迁，而是选择退休、
The Trump administration is halting vital federal research on the foodborne parasite Cyclospora, despite the record-breaking, nationwide outbreak of the diarrheal pathogen, according to Politico.
Of the three research programs that represent nearly all of the Cyclospora work at the US Department of Agriculture, two have been defunded, and the third is about to lose every scientist working on it. The Trump administration is shuttering the USDA's Beltsville Agricultural Research Center near Washington, DC, and moving its work to a location in Iowa. That includes relocating the remaining Cyclospora research.
Although the research is still funded, insiders told Politico that not one of the scientists working on the project plans to relocate from Maryland to Iowa. Instead, they are either retiring, being reassigned to a different project, or leaving the USDA's research services.
