Los Angeles County public health officials have confirmed two additional cases of locally acquired dengue in Baldwin Park, bringing the total to three, which is unprecedented for the region. The infected individuals had no travel history to dengue-prone areas, indicating local transmission via Aedes mosquitoes. While dengue cases are rare in this region, public health officials emphasize there is no need for panic as all mosquitoes tested in the San Gabriel Valley have been negative for dengue. Residents are advised to eliminate standing water and use insect repellent to prevent mosquito bites. In response, the L.A. County Department of Public Health is conducting door-to-door visits to educate residents and offer free dengue testing. Similar isolated cases have been reported in other regions, including Pasco County, Florida.
