Over the past 20 years, the continental United States has experienced unprecedented local transmission of infectious diseases which were previously only known to be travel-associated. Confirmed infections have included malaria, dengue, chikungunya, zika, and leishmaniasis. Scientific projection models predict an increasing risk of such infections in the future, particularly in southern states along the Gulf Coast. Outbreaks may reflect changes in climate conditions, infrastructural capacity, and patterns of human behavior.
在过去20年里，美国大陆经历了前所未有的传染病本地传播，这些传染病以前仅被认为与旅行相关。确诊的感染病例包括疟疾、登革热、基孔肯雅热、寨卡病毒病和利什曼病。科学预测模型预计，未来此类感染的风险将会增加，尤其是在墨西哥湾沿岸的南部各州。疫情爆发可能反映了气候条件、基础设施能力和人类行为模式的变化。
