The CDC has released a fresh health advisory warning about the spread of the mosquito-born dengue virus as infections are soaring around the globe.
"Global incidence of dengue in 2024 has been the highest on record for this calendar year; many countries are reporting higher-than-usual dengue case numbers," it also said. "In 2024, countries in the Americas have reported a record-breaking number of dengue cases, exceeding the highest number ever recorded in a single year." Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
The CDC describes the dengue virus as the "most common" mosquito-borne disease in the world. In the U.S., Florida has reported the most cases so far this year with 197, followed by New York with 134, Massachusetts with 50 and California with 40.
