A 'higher-than-expected' number of dengue fever infections have been recorded in the US, 10,000 more than in the whole of 2023, with over 5,300 deaths worldwide primarily in tourist hotspots like Brazil, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
CDC warns of dengue fever surge in the US, with cases identified in 38 states, linked to travelers returning from countries with rapid disease spread, along with several local cases detected.
States like Florida, Massachusetts, New York, and Puerto Rico are experiencing significant dengue fever outbreaks, with locally transmitted cases in Florida raising concerns.
Dengue fever cannot be transmitted from person to person and is spread by infected mosquitoes, necessitating mosquito control measures to prevent local transmission and outbreaks from travelers or infected mosquitoes.
