What will this Dengue problem (As reported on Dr1 News today!) Have on the Tourist trade coming to this Country now and in the future?

Yes I agree Gary, I do not think that people relate to Dengue the same as they would to Malaria..........
Dengue is spread by the same mosquito that carries malaria: aedes egypti(sp?), you know, the little bugger that lifts its back legs as it drinks your blood?
Person to person contagion is not possible, it has to be done by the mosquito.

HB I don't like to contradict a person as knowledgeable as you but dengue can be transmitted from person to person though blood contact such as blood tranfusions or any exchange of blood with an infected person.

I recall travelling to South America 15 years ago and the locals would burn a "mosquito coil" while they slept, its a green coil shaped incense that smelled horrible but was effective. Is there some form of "mosquito coil" in the DR??
