World Health Organization expresses concern over record-breaking cases of mosquito-borne illness

Reported 11 months ago

Dengue fever cases in the Americas have soared above 7 million by April 2024, leading to the worst season ever, with Brazil alone reporting over 6 million cases. Experts warn that the disease's spread could soon reach new regions like North America and Europe, as warmer temperatures create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. The World Health Organization has launched the Global Arbovirus Initiative to enhance disease surveillance and response, emphasizing community engagement and preventive measures to combat the outbreak.
