I'm pretty sure it will spread to Texas.

(22,476 posts)12. Already has. TX has recorded endemic cases
Luckily, there is a vaccine.

Of course, the anti-vaxxers would rather be infected with the nasty bugger that's claimed more lives than plague.

which was about the time public health there was getting serious about mosquito abatement.
My guess is that Republicans have slacked off on that, too.
Malaria isn't the only one on the move, Dengue is about to make its ugly face known in the US among non travelers.

captain queeg
(11,780 posts)18. I think the hydroxychloroquine is the treatment for malaria isn't it?
