Florida's Dengue Fever Outbreak Is a National Warning
Original: Florida’s Dengue Fever Outbreak Is a National Warning
Florida is experiencing a dengue fever outbreak, and Bloomberg reports it as a warning for the wider United States. The mosquito-borne illness, typically confined to tropical regions, is now spreading locally, prompting concern that changing climate conditions could allow dengue and other tropical diseases to take hold in parts of the country where they were previously rare.
Why now: Locally transmitted dengue in Florida signals that tropical mosquito-borne diseases are expanding into the continental US, raising public health concerns.
