The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has issued an alert to countries in the region to strengthen their surveillance mechanisms in the face of the risk of dengue outbreaks due to the increase in the circulation of the DENV-3 serotype.

The epidemiological alert for the Americas is aimed at preventing cases of dengue in the most vulnerable areas and avoiding severe forms of the disease.

PAHO noted that the DENV-3 serotype was “identified in several countries in the Americas, including Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru. In 2024, Argentina reported its circulation, marking the introduction of this serotype in the country. That same year, Brazil and Colombia reported an increase in cases associated with DENV-3, especially among children, and it has been detected in other nations in Central America and the Caribbean.”

With the reappearance of this serotype, the risk for the most vulnerable populations increases. In this sense, the organization recommends that countries in the region reinforce vector control measures, in addition to strengthening diagnostic capacity in health systems and providing patients with early and adequate care to prevent serious complications. Information and awareness campaigns to reduce exposure to mosquitoes that transmit the virus and eliminate breeding sites are also crucial. This is accompanied by monitoring by health authorities and timely vaccination.

The United States has recently conducted various judicial proceedings in the area of ​​​​cryptocurrencies. The Justice Department’s surveillance measures have become more radical following the FTX and Binance cases.

With the security of clients’ assets as its goal, the United States has radicalized the monitoring of cryptocurrency transactions. With this, they have managed to bring to light cases of fraud, non-compliance with regulations, evasion of controls, among other crimes.

The most recent scandal in this market is that of the Binance exchange, where CEO Changpeng Zhao was forced to leave office and pay a million-dollar fine to the authorities.

The radicalization of supervision, according to some analysts, could lead the platform to bankruptcy. However, this is a completely relevant control of the FED, the SEC and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

With the Binance case, the DOJ will henceforth apply stronger measures in the crypto sector, which include everything from internal procedures to anti-evasion policies to prevent fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, financing of terrorist activities, among others.
