South America is currently facing a surge in mosquito-borne diseases, with Uruguay recording new cases of infections through mosquito bites and Brazil dealing with a significant outbreak of dengue fever. Efforts to combat the dengue outbreak in Brazil include the deployment of field hospitals and vaccines. Meanwhile, the United States is experiencing a rise in norovirus cases, particularly in the Northeastern region, where the disease, known for causing violent diarrhea and referred to as the "winter vomiting disease," has seen an increase in cases according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with one in SIX tests coming back positive. Additionally, the Oropouche virus is on the rise in parts of Brazil and Peru, with most cases reported in northwestern Brazil and bordering areas of Peru. In Washington, there has been an uptick in Dengue Fever cases among individuals who have traveled internationally, especially to regions including South and Central America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.
