Aedes albopictus is a highly invasive species and between 1940-2020, it was detected in 86 new countries. Interestingly, the dispersal pathways have changed over the centuries. Check out new review by @mozzie_swan 👇

Dengue fever is transmitted by mosquitoes.

The vast majority of US cases are in returned travellers, but infrequent local transmission may occur.

Florida reported their 1st locally acquired ("autochthonous") case of Dengue for 2022 in Miami-Dade County.
