Florida Dengue Outbreak Seen as a National Warning
Original: Florida’s Dengue Fever Outbreak Is a National Warning
Health authorities are reporting a dengue fever outbreak in Florida, and commentators are framing it as a warning for the rest of the United States. The mosquito-borne illness, typically confined to tropical regions, is spreading locally, prompting concern about how climate change and travel may carry the disease to other states.
Why now: A locally transmitted tropical disease emerging in a major US state raises fears dengue could spread nationwide.
