So far this year , authorities have identified at least 13 cases of locally acquired dengue, up from two in 2023 .
The Aedes mosquitoes, known for their aggressive, daytime biting, are now present in at least 24 California counties.
They breed in water, in as little as a capful.
Aedes mosquitoes first appeared in California in 2022 but have yet to establish themselves, officials say.
Public health officials are trying to suppress the threat with stepped-up surveillance, speedy eradication efforts.
Aerial spraying hasn’t been deployed to address the recent dengue outbreaks, which are in more urban environments.
