AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoVector-borne disease watch: Hawaii’s Department of Health has confirmed another travel-related dengue virus case on Oʻahu, bringing the state total to seven dengue cases in 2026. The person was exposed while traveling internationally in a dengue-prone area, and officials say there’s no link to earlier cases. Mosquito control reminder: DOH teams have been deployed to inspect and step up mosquito-control measures, and residents are urged to remove standing water—especially after Tropical Cyclone Lala flooding and expected rain—to reduce mosquito breeding and lower the risk of local spread. Public health context: Dengue is not established in Hawaii and cases so far involve travelers; the virus spreads when infected people are bitten by mosquitoes that then transmit it to others.
