Abstract
The adventurous tourist, obliviously hacking his way through the jungles of Brazil, is first aware of a faint buzzing noise, then a tiny sting on his arm. The smack of his hand seems to have taken care of the problem: he has merely been bitten by a mosquito, so it seems there is no reason to panic. However, this mosquito wields a formidable threat. It carries the microscopic virema of dengue Haemorhaggic fever, for which there is no known cure. During the next few days, as the virus toys with the tourist's immune system, a highly uncomfortable set of symptoms will arise. This chain of events may have begun in a small flowerpot, overflowing with rain from a hurricane brought on indirectly by global warming and a collection of small, Japanese automobiles. A look at the larger picture will reveal that a myriad of factors is at play in the battle against dengue, a virus with a wicked, and fourfold attack method. If only the problem could be stamped out with the resounding smack of one man's palm.
