Last update: 5 hours agoVector-borne disease watch: Hawai‘i’s Department of Health has confirmed a new travel-related dengue virus case in an Oʻahu resident, bringing the state total to six cases in 2026. The person was exposed while traveling in a dengue-prone region, and officials say the chance of local spread is low. Mosquito control reminder: DOH teams are inspecting the area and stepping up mosquito control, while residents are urged to remove standing water around homes and workplaces (including buckets, containers, rain barrels, and water-holding plants) to reduce the risk of mosquitoes breeding. Regional context: DOH notes dengue is a year-round risk in tropical and subtropical areas and highlights higher-than-usual reports in several countries across the Pacific and beyond, including New Caledonia. When to seek care: Anyone with recent travel history who develops dengue-like symptoms (fever, nausea, vomiting, rash, body aches) is advised to contact a healthcare provider.
