Dengue fever is a tropical disease that affects 40% of the world's population. Around 300 million people become infected every year. It is rarely fatal.

However, some victims develop dengue haemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding and low blood pressure. These health issues contribute to an estimated 25,000 deaths a year.

Scientists are particularly concerned about the emergence of the virus in Jenson Beach, Florida. It means that dengue fever is spreading north from Key West, where one of the earliest outbreaks in the US was recorded in 2009. Previously there had been no outbreaks of the fever in Florida for decades.

The virus is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which usually lives in tropical regions. But scientists believe that climate change has made them more prevalent across the southern states of the US. An unexpected number of the mosquitoes have recently been recorded in California's Central Valley and in the San Francisco Bay Area.
