Florida's locally acquired dengue transmission has shifted from South Florida to the Tampa Bay area, and one of the two counties involved has no modern record of the disease spreading within its borders.
The Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County has confirmed eight locally acquired dengue cases, up from two the week before. Pinellas County has confirmed two cases, its first locally acquired dengue cases in more than fifteen years, according to CDC data. Both counties are under mosquito-borne illness alerts.
