90% Informative
About 3,700 new dengue infections were reported in the U.S. last year , up from about 2,050 in 2023 .
Dengue is endemic in many warmer parts of the world, including Latin America , India , and Southeast Asia .
The disease can spread when people are bitten by infected Aedes mosquitoes, often biting during the daytime.
This year , reported rates of dengue in much of the Americas have declined significantly from 2024 .
The trend in the United States likely won’t be clear until later in the year , after the summer mosquito season ends.
There is a vaccine for children, but it faces discontinuation from a lack of global demand.
Some say there may be limited outbreaks, while others predict it could get much worse.
