Dengue Fever in China

23 July 2013

The media has reported on 37 cases of dengue fever in Zhongshan City, Guangdong province in the south of the country.

All 37 cases were identified in 5 localities of the city's Huangpu township. Provincial health officials predict more cases as none of the 37 cases has a history of travel and therefore the dengue virus has not been imported in this instance.

The wet weather has been blamed for an increase in the mosquito population.
