Dengue Fever in Brazil & elsewhere

There have been nearly 20,000 cases of dengue fever in Rio since the beginning of the year. Commonly known as ‘break-bone fever’, this nasty disease is spread by small mosquitoes that bite in daylight hours. Rio is a popular tourist destination, and travellers should know how to protect themselves against insect bites, as there is no vaccine against dengue fever.

Dengue fever is also increasing in the following countries: Malaysia, India, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, El Salvador, Bali in Indonesia, and in Queensland, Australia.
