Florida health officials have placed Broward County under a mosquito-borne illness alert this month as dengue virus cases spread.

Broward County – home to Fort Lauderdale – joins Miami-Dade County as the illness continues to spread.

The Florida Department of Health reported two cases of locally acquired dengue in Broward County in its July 30-Aug. 5 arbovirus surveillance report.

There have been 10 cases of locally acquired dengue reported in the Sunshine State this year, with most in Miami-Dade County. The majority of the 10 were reported in July.
