Dr. Jason Bowling, an infectious disease specialist with UT Health San Antonio, joined Leading SA to discuss what is happening and what families should know following confirmed cases of Malaria and Measles in Texas.

A Texas man is one of five cases in the U.S. who contracted malaria locally, which means the mosquitos carrying the parasite are in the country for the first time in 20 years.

The Florida Department of Health has issued a statewide mosquito-borne illness advisory after four locally contracted cases of malaria were reported along the Gulf Coast south of Tampa.
