"Dengue Fever Surge in Miami Linked to Climate Change and Travel"

Dengue fever, traditionally confined to tropical regions, is now threatening the U.S. due to climate change, which is expanding the habitat of the mosquitoes that spread the virus. Latin America is experiencing its worst dengue outbreak on record, with cases significantly higher than previous years. Experts warn that the U.S. and Europe could see more frequent and severe outbreaks as warmer temperatures allow mosquitoes to breed year-round and carry more viral copies. Local transmission has already been reported in several U.S. states, raising concerns about future public health impacts.
