Dengue, AKA “Breakbone Fever,” Is Back

24th December 2012

Read it.

The spraying campaigns that ended U.S. epidemics of malaria and dengue in the 1940s turned out to be only a temporary solution. National eradication programs petered out in 1972, and the main dengue vector, Aedes aegypti, quickly returned; it is now in 23 states and ranges as far north as New York City.

Thank you, Rachel Carson.
