Dengue fever cases rise in Florida and Hawaii
Original: dengue fever
Health officials in the United States are reporting new dengue developments. The Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County issued an updated mosquito-borne illness alert, while Hawaii confirmed its ninth dengue case of 2026, a travel-related infection on Oʻahu. The cases are drawing attention as warmer, wetter conditions raise mosquito activity and concerns about further local transmission.
Why now: New confirmed dengue cases and health alerts have put the disease back in public attention.
