#3 That's weird, I really associated that disease with (subsaharan) african countries only.

#4 Wasn't there a report somewheres recently about terrorist groups looking into spreading diseases like this through "victims"? I realize it's not human-to-human, but if an affected one gets into an area where there's mosquitoes/other vectors, wouldn't that raise someone's dander?

#5 Ooops, I actually may be thinking of an episode of The Unit a few weeks ago.

#6 Dengue is endemic in the tropics worldwide, tens of millions of cases a year.

#7 Lots of US troops in the Solomons/New Guinea campaign, and later in the Philippines, were struck with Dengue Fever. I also remember reading somewhere that it affected other locations as well, including Burma, Malaysia, and the Dutch Indies.
