The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning to doctors to be vigilant for cases of dengue, a mosquito-borne disease that is on the rise globally, increasing the risk of transmission in the US.
The surge in dengue cases is attributed to the warming climate, which favors the spread of the disease-carrying Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. While dengue has been relatively rare in the continental US, there has been a notable increase in cases among US travelers this year, with 745 cases reported through June 24.
