In its latest weekly arbovirus report, the Florida Department of Health confirmed one more local malaria case as well as one more local dengue infection. The report covers mosquito-borne illness activity for the week ending July 15.
The malaria case involves a resident of Sarasota County, where the earlier locally acquired cases occurred. The new case lifts the number of local cases for the year to seven. Texas also reported a local malaria case this year, which involved someone from Cameron County.
Dengue cases rise to 3
Meanwhile, the dengue illness was in Miami-Dade County, raising the state's total for the year to three. The earlier two cases this year were in the same county.
Florida eliminated local dengue transmission in the 1930s but has reported sporadic infections, often from Miami-Dade County. Localized outbreaks in Key West occurred in 2009 and 2010.
