As spring and summer travel season approaches, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing a warning to travelers about the rising risk of dengue fever. Cases of the mosquito-borne illness have been on the rise among U.S. travelers and are expected to climb in 2024 and 2025. The virus, transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, is causing a surge of infections, with over 13 million cases reported across North, Central, and South America, as well as the Caribbean this year alone.

Dengue transmission remains high in the Americas, including U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Spring and summer travel coincides with the peak season for dengue in many regions, making travelers particularly vulnerable to both travel-associated and locally acquired cases. With warmer months facilitating the spread of the virus, the CDC is advising increased caution when visiting areas with known outbreaks.
