Health officials in the Florida Keys have issued a dengue fever alert following two locally acquired cases of the mosquito-borne illness. This alert comes as part of a national advisory from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warning of an increased risk of dengue virus infections in the United States. The incidence of dengue fever is rising globally, with many nations reporting more cases due to ideal mosquito breeding conditions. Prevention methods include using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating stagnant water sources.
