The United States has seen five cases of malaria spread by mosquitos in the last two months, — the first time there’s been local spread in 20 years — prompting officials to issue a public health alert warning doctors, public health authorities, and the public about the risk Monday.

Four cases were identified in southwest Florida and one in southern Texas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The five cases are the first in 20 years to be caught locally in the United States.

"Malaria is a medical emergency and should be treated accordingly," the CDC said. "Patients suspected of having malaria should be urgently evaluated in a facility that is able to provide rapid diagnosis and treatment, within 24 hours of presentation.
