The UN World Health Organization says the epidemic of Dengue Fever is under reported by main streamer news media.  They call the under reporting a “problem”.

Australia:  The international quarantine system in the Land Down Under has failed, the specific mosquitoes that spread the deadly dengue and yellow fever viruses have arrived at Melbourne Airport, as well as the airports in Adelaide and Perth.  The Department of Agriculture discovered the blood suckers in water filled plastic road traffic barriers around the airports.  They were also found in tunnels under the Melbourne Airport.

At least four regions of Queensland are experiencing outbreaks.  The majority of cases are in suburbs.

The state of Victoria is reporting 79 human cases since the beginning of the year.

Fiji:  Since mid-December, 12 people have died, 12-thousand are infected with dengue type3!  A campaign to clean up areas that are prone to mosquitoes, involving the general public, is underway.  The Red Cross is involved and Australia has pledged $750-thousand AUD to help fight the mosquitoes.

India: On 11 March 2014 a joint private-publicly funded campaign was launched to eradicate dengue mosquitoes in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune and Ahmedabad.  10 cases where doctors got infected (and one hospital barber) were traced to a mosquito breeding area inside one hostel room, on the BYL Nair Hospital campus, used by one of the doctors.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: In the city of Jeddah, 48 people have become sick with dengue in the past two weeks.  The city of Jazan reports 10 cases.

Malaysia:  The Deputy Health Minister, Hilmi Yahaya, reports 44 deaths and more than 20-thousand human infections as of 08 March 2014!  Most took place in February.  Yahaya blames it on a new more virulent version of the type2 dengue virus.  Doctors are now trying Chinese herbs to fight infections: “This Chinese herb contains Baicalein compounds……..It hasn’t been proven to be able to treat dengue fever but at least it is able to lower the replication rate of the dengue virus.”-Sazaly Abu Bakar,  University Malaya

New Zealand:  Officials are preparing for dengue invasion due to their country’s proximity to Fiji.  In December 2013 there was a 41% increase in dengue cases, mostly in Auckland.  Cook Island reports more than 50 cases.  It’s been five years since the last dengue outbreak on Cook Island.

Pakistan:  135 cases reported, mostly in Karachi but new cases are showing up in other cities and villages.  Rawalpindi (aka Pindi) health officials warn that the poorly maintained car washes have become breeding grounds of dengue carrying mosquitoes.  Most are part of  gas stations, and are right next to restaurants.  Fear of dengue is so high that a new law will punish government officials: “Criminal cases will be registered against government officials if their offices are found infested with dengue larvae.”-Noorul Amin Mengal, District Coordination Officer

Philippines:  Davao City made it to the top of the list for human infections in 2013; 6283.  As of the end of February 2014 the city reported 214 cases. In Central Visayas, since January 2014 three deaths and 677 cases reported.  In Eastern Samar 221 cases reported, since December 2013.

Samoa:  The Ministry of Health reports that dengue has spread from neighboring Fiji.

Singapore: More than 2535 cases reported since January 2014.

United States: The U.S. territory of American Samoa is warning travelers going to Samoa about the spread of dengue from Fiji.

There is no drug or vaccines to fight dengue fever. However, the Bilderberger Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has granted the University of Notre Dame $23-million USD to find ways to fight the virus.

Currently there are four known types of dengue.  A new study says that targeting protein “hinges” could not only develop a vaccine for dengue but for hep C, influenza and HIV/AIDS.

Dengue fever (aka breakbone fever) causes fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and in worst cases hemorrhagic fever, shock syndrome and death.  It can be spread by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes.
