The mosquito-spread illness may be gaining a foothold in the United States.
One of the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases is encroaching further into the U.S. This week, health officials in Arkansas reported a locally acquired case of malaria, the first ever documented in the state. At least three other states have reported local cases of the mosquito-borne infection this year, though the overall risk of malaria to the public remains low, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In late August, the CDC reported that nine locally acquired cases have been documented in Florida, Texas, and Maryland this year—the most seen since 2003, when eight such cases were recorded in Florida. On Wednesday, the Arkansas Department of Health reported its own case of locally acquired malaria, raising the tally to 10 across the U.S. The state has seen five other cases of malaria this year, but the rest have all been linked to travel.
