A mosquito-borne virus has led to a widespread outbreak in China – but could it show up in the U.S.?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Level 2 alert on Wednesday for an outbreak of chikungunya virus in the Guangdong Province, where health officials have reported more than 7,000 cases, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
There are efforts underway to control the mosquitoes spreading the virus, including the use of nets, insecticide and drones, the report stated.
