Third Locally Acquired Dengue Case Confirmed on Florida's Southeast Coast

With the mosquito season underway in the United States, Florida health authorities have recently reported the third locally acquired case of dengue fever in Brevard County.

As of July 8, 2025, the Florida Department of Health in Brevard County (DOH-Brevard) issued a Mosquito-Borne Illness Advisory, which is scheduled to be effective until mid-September 2025.

DOH-Brevard and Brevard County Mosquito Control have confirmed that they are coordinating surveillance and prevention efforts through both ground and aerial spraying.

Previously, further south along the Atlantic Coast, Miami-Dade County has reported two local cases of dengue this year.

In 2024, 91 locally acquired dengue cases were reported in ten Florida counties, with Miami-Dade leading the way.

As of July 2025, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Canada, and the United Kingdom have not issued vaccination requirements for visiting Florida this year.

Currently, only Puerto Rico is offering dengue vaccinations in the United States.
