American Med News just put out an alert for docs in the US to watch out for cases of Dengue fever. this nasty disease has been a problem here in SE Asia for the last decade.

Folks might not be aware that Dengue is not the only mosquito spread disease that used to be common in the US: Malaria and Yellow fever were once common in the southern US and killed thousands of soldiers in the Civil War.
all are mosquito spread, but from different varieties of mosquitos.

the real danger is if the disease goes from an infected person into the mosquito population, as happened in the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic of Philadelphia.
