Health officials are reporting new cases of the chikungunya virus in Cuba and the United States. The debilitating virus has been spreading in the Caribbean through infected mosquitoes since December, according to the World Health Organization. Experts say American tourists are bringing chikungunya back home, and it's just a matter of time before it starts to spread within the United States. New to the Americas, the virus, which causes fever and joint pain that can become chronic, has no cure or vaccine. [Source: CNN]
