For more than a decade, scientists have known that the mosquitoes transmitting dengue fever have been moving from the tropics north into the United States-as far north as New Jersey, with outbreaks in Brownsville, Texas, and heavily touristed Key West, Florida. Now scientists and their colleagues are learning more about why certain areas are prone to dengue outbreaks while others aren't, and what factors can best predict the future impact of the disease also known as "breakbone fever."
