Rising Dengue Cases Linked to Warmer Temperatures

Dengue cases in the Americas and Caribbean have reached record-breaking numbers this year, surpassing previous records set in 2019. Experts attribute the surge in cases to rising temperatures and rapid urbanization, which are accelerating the spread of the disease. The mosquito-borne virus has affected over 4 million people in the region, with more than 2,000 deaths reported. Dengue is also spreading to new areas, including California and Florida in the United States. The global impact of dengue is also increasing, with over 4.5 million cases reported worldwide. Experts warn that dengue is a significant public health threat and call for proactive measures to address the disease.
