Increase in mosquitos carrying dengue fever in Cuba

There has been an increase in the numbers of Aedes aegypti mosquitos in urban areas of Cuba, including Havana.

These insects can carry dengue fever, an unpleasant viral disease, (commonly named breakbone fever due to the severe joint and muscle pain involved). The authorities have established a surveillance system to monitor the situation, but travellers should nevertheless take steps to avoid being bitten by these mosquitos, which are active and biting during daylight hours.
