June 26 (UPI) -- Health officials have recently detected five malaria cases in the United States, marking the first locally acquired mosquito-borne malaria to be diagnosed in the country in two decades.
The handful of cases has prompted the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a warning to health officials and the public about the disease.
Federal health officials warn there could be a rise in imported malaria cases this summer linked to increased international travel and the need for rapid access to IV artesunate, the first-line treatment for severe malaria in the country.
Four of the locally acquired cases of the potentially fatal disease were detected in Sarasota County, Fla. The Florida Department of Health announced the cases in a statement Monday. The fifth case was detected in Cameron County, Texas, its health department said.

The CDC said this is the first time locally acquired mosquito-borne malaria has been detected in the United States since eight cases were identified in Palm Beach County, Fla., in 2003. Texas' most recent case occurred in 1994, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Federal officials state that there are 2,000 cases of malaria diagnosed in the United States each year but are diagnosed in travelers and immigrants returning from countries where malaria transmission occurs.

Thank you, Brandon. Probably from an illegal. IMHO
Helen Thomas is still alive?
I wonder what diversity is our strength individual brought this vector of strength to our shores.
I’m desperately awaiting to hear about the treatment for malaria. If only there was a sage, cheap drug with years of use...
And deploy a triple dose of it on the District of Corruption.
Do not rinse but definitely reapply a 2nd and 3rd triple dose over the next two days.
Pray for it’s effectiveness.
We’ve turned into a third world country why shouldn’t we have third world diseases. Thanks XIDEN.
No. The FDA will seek a new wonder drug that will cost 300 a dose with 30 doses needed. One company will be selected, a billion will be donated, and
immunity will be granted. The drug will be called quinazium
Are they going to start calling immigration “international travel” now?
Okay, Texas may be likely illegals bringing it in? But what about Sarasota. Where did grandma and grandpa get it? Are we going to need malaria drugs to visit Sarasota?
I read an excellent paper disproving Rachel Carsons book and claims...don’t have access to it away from the desktop. We should refer to Greta as today’s Rachel.
Has to be mRNA. Gates and Pfizer will get right on it.
The malaria will be safer than what Gates and Pfizer concoct.

Good question about Sarasota malaria cases. Local news hasn’t offered a knowledgeable explanation. The only clue is that a certain neighborhood in N. Sarasota has been sprayed multiple times in the past month.
Quinine treats. Hydroxychlorquine prevents. I think.
