Dengue spares most of South Florida, but El Niño keeps experts alert

Original: Dengue outbreak spares most of South Florida, but El Niño has experts on alert

Most of South Florida has so far avoided a major dengue outbreak, though health experts remain cautious. The return of El Niño is expected to bring warmer, wetter conditions that favor mosquito breeding, raising concerns that locally transmitted dengue cases could increase in the coming months. Officials are monitoring the situation closely.

Why now: El Niño's weather patterns could boost mosquito populations and dengue transmission in a region that has largely escaped an outbreak so far.
