"Miami's Zika Search Turns Up Another Virus: Dengue" [1]

"Florida health officials who have been testing thousands of residents for Zika virus said Wednesday they found another infection: dengue virus.

The health department said it confirmed a case of locally acquired dengue virus, the second this year in the state and the first in Miami.

And a traveler from Connecticut caught the virus in Florida, Connecticut state health officials said."
