A mosquito-borne virus has led to a widespread outbreak in China but could it show up in the U.S.?The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Level 2 alert on Wednesday for an outbreak of chikungunya virus in the Guangdong Province, where health officials have reported more than 7,000 cases, per the Associated Press (AP).There are efforts underway to control the mosquitoes spreading the virus, including the use of nets, insecticide and drones, the report stated.MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS SPREADING THROUGH CHINA CAUSES HIGH FEVER, JOINT PAINChikungunya cases have also been spreading throughout Europe, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).The virus is transmitted when a mosquito feeds on an infected person and then bites someone else.Dr. Paul Sax, clinical director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, said an outbreak in the U.S. is unlikely.Chikungunya is a predominantly tropical virus spread through Aedes mosquitoes, which can be found in the southern United States.CDC ISSUES CHINA TRAVEL WARNING OVER CHIKUNGUNYA VIRUS OUTBREAK"The reason why we don't have lots of chikungunya, dengue or Zika in the United States is that there isn't that many of those mosquitoes here," Sax said."To really sustain an outbreak of chikungunya in the United States, you need to have a lot more people with chikungunya. And we only occasionally have people with that."It is mainly Americans who have recently traveled to highly endemic areas of the world who could potentially contract chikungunya, the expert noted and then they would have to be bitten by mosquitoes that spread it to others."So, it's very unlikely to have a big outbreak, but if we were to have an outbreak it's most likely to occur in places like Florida, Louisiana and Texas," Sax said.There was a recent case of chikungunya at Brigham and Womens hospital involving a patient who had traveled to Bolivia, the doctor shared.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle"She contracted it there and then came back here and was diagnosed here," he said."But that person then has to be bitten by an Aedes mosquito, which then transmits it to another person If there isn't very much circulating chikungunya in our community, we're not going to see a sustained epidemic."Symptoms of the chikungunya virus typically include fever, headache and severe joint pain.The joint pain can last weeks or even months after the initial infection, Sax shared.There is no antiviral treatment for chikungunya, but some patients may see a joint specialist who can prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs.Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can also help relieve symptoms, according to Sax.Two vaccines also exist IXCHIQ and VIMKUNYA which are a popular choice for those who travel to highly endemic regions.Dr. Neil Maniar, Ph.D., professor of public health practice in the Department of Public Health & Health Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, agreed that the risk of chikungunya in the U.S. is low.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERIn a separate interview with Fox News Digital, Maniar suggested that the outbreak in China is most likely related to their monsoon season, as pests like mosquitoes and even ticks thrive in warm, wet environments.The expert encouraged people to take proper precautions when traveling or visiting tropical areas, even in the U.S.Those include using bug repellent, wearing long pants and receiving appropriate vaccinations when traveling to affected areas."We're seeing an increase in illnesses that are transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks because we're seeing longer seasons where they can thrive," he said."The population of mosquitoes and ticks is just growing and I think that's something we should all pay attention to."Fox News Digital's Melissa Rudy contributed to this report.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is accusing The New York Times of defamation over its reporting on starvation in Gaza, specifically a front-page photo of an emaciated child that the paper later acknowledged was misleading."[The] New York Times should be sued," Netanyahu told Fox News Bill Hemmer during an exclusive sit-down interview Thursday."I'm actually looking at whether a country can sue The New York Times, and I'm looking into it right now, because I think it's such a it's such clear defamation."Netanyahus criticism stems from a photo used in a Times article headlined, "Young, Old and Sick Starve to Death in Gaza: There Is Nothing." The photo showed a young boy being cradled by his mother. He is clearly emaciated with his spine poking through his skin. The articles focus was meant to highlight the worsening humanitarian crisis in the war-torn region.NY TIMES' ERRONEOUS COVER PHOTO OF GAZAN CHILD JOINS SERIES OF MEDIA BLUNDERS FRAMING STORIES AGAINST ISRAELDays later, the Times issued a correction acknowledging that the child had a preexisting medical condition that contributed to his appearance. Neither the article nor the caption originally included this information."I mean, you put a picture of a child that's supposed to then represent all these supposedly starving children, yet" said Netanyahu, "they put in this picture of a child who has cerebral palsy."NETANYAHU RESPONDS AFTER ISRAELI HOSTAGE SEEN EMACIATED, DIGGING GRAVE: 'CRUELTY OF HAMAS HAS NO BOUNDARIES'The Times correction noted that after the story was published, they were informed of the preexisting health condition by the boys doctor. The outlet wrote: "Had The Times known the information before publication, it would have been included in the article and the picture caption."But Netanyahu said the correction wasnt satisfactory."Its [The New York Times] put out this thing," said Netanyahu. "Then it corrects it with a denial the size of a postage stamp buried in the back pages."Despite the Israeli leaders outrage at the story, several international organizations, including the United Nations, have warned about the worsening hunger situation in Gaza.UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban told Fox News that malnutrition in the region has reached famine levels."After 22 months of war, two months of a blockade by Israel, people are in a horrendous state," Chaiban said.NEW YORK TIMES ADMITS USING MISLEADING COVER PHOTO OF EMACIATED GAZA CHILDNetanyahu acknowledged the suffering but blamed Hamas for making the crisis worse. He's accused the terror group of looting aid shipments and reselling supplies at inflated prices."I dont deny that theres suffering," Netanyahu said. "I want to end the suffering, and I want to end it by ending Hamas rule."During the interview, Netanyahu confirmed his intention to take full control of the Gaza Strip. The announcement marks a major policy shift after Israel left the territory nearly two decades ago.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe New York Times did not immediately respond when contacted by Fox News Digital.

Prominent Democrat and former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg addressed his recent comments about the fairness of letting biological males compete in women's and girls' sports.After Buttigieg said "there are serious fairness issues" on the topic of letting trans athletes compete with females, during an interview with NPR in July, the Democrat spoke about the subject again during a Substack Live interview with Aaron Parnas. The Democrat suggested that parents who oppose allow males to compete with girls must be heard."I think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously ,including parents who have questions," Buttigieg said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"People who have questions or wonder what this means ... theyre going to have questions about how to make sure thats fair, and we should take those questions seriously and face those together."The former South Bend, Indiana, mayor also said he believes that the issue is "being used to hurt" people as a political topic, and he doubled-down on the stance that policies surrounding trans athletes in women's sports shouldn't be made by politicians."I see this issue being used to divide. I see it being used to hurt people," he said. "It's especially hurtful for trans people and people with transgender members of their family who witness themselves or people they love being used as a political football."Buttigieg's original quotes on NPR in July prompted questions and criticisms by some liberals and pro-trans activists, as the issue continues to divide the Democratic Party.Buttigieg has joined several other prominent Democrats and media pundits who have spoken out against allowing males to compete with females, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom; Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass.; and HBO host Bill Maher.An April report by The New York Times claims that Biden did not agree with trans athletes participating in women's and girls' sports.HOW TRANSGENDERISM IN SPORTS SHIFTED THE 2024 ELECTION AND IGNITED A NATIONAL COUNTERCULTURE"According to a number of former Biden-administration officials, there remained a simmering debate inside the administration about whether those Title IX protections should extend to sports," the Times reported,. "One side maintained that there was no legal difference between letting trans students use bathrooms that align with their gender identity and letting trans student athletes play on sports teams that align with their gender identity."However, Biden was "on the other side who believed that the competitive, zero-sum nature of sports made them different from bathrooms that some transgender athletes would enjoy unfair physical advantages over women. Most important, one of the officials holding this view was Biden himself."A New York Times/Ipsos survey found that the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don't think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women's sports."Thinking about transgender female athletes meaning athletes who were male at birth but who currently identify as female do you think they should or should not be allowed to compete in womens sports?" the survey asked.Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women's sports.Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.Other data suggests the issue affected the outcome of the 2024 election.Anational exit poll conducted by the Concerned Women for America (CWA) legislative action committee found that 70% of moderate voters saw the issue of "Donald Trumps opposition to transgender boys and men playing girls' and womens sports and of transgender boys and men using girls' and womens bathrooms" as important to them.And 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was "very important."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
