Dengue Fever Watch
by Dengue Fever Watch — Lantern Podcasts
Dengue Fever Watch follows dengue fever news with a focus on Florida and the places residents travel. Cera and Daniel explain what changed in local outbreaks, mosquito control, public-health alerts and travel guidance, drawing on health departments, CDC, WHO, PAHO and independent reporting. Each brief separates locally acquired infections from travel-associated cases, identifies the dates behind case counts, and makes uncertainty clear. Coverage starts with Tampa Bay, Hillsborough County and other affected Florida communities, with wider reporting on Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America when it matters to listeners. New episodes arrive on weekdays when there is a significant development. Expect clear sourcing and practical context about dengue symptoms, prevention and official advisories, without alarmist speculation or personalized medical advice.
