Dengue fever in Brazil

     Today I will talk about the scariest diseases occurring in Brazil. Its the Dengue Fever. This epidemic disease is a viral infection caused by a female mosquito bite that has been going on in Brazil for some time. According to Brazil's study, it is estimated on average of 1 million cases every year--the most in the world. The summer months which is around November through February are even more mosquito-heavy in Sao Paulo and Campinas. The specific name for these terrible mosquitos are the aides aegypti mosquitos that transmits the disease from the bit of female mosquitos and leads to symptoms like severe headaches, muscle and joint pain, vomiting, and leading to death. Not only that, dengue fever is a disease with no immunization and no cure that has long been a problem in Brazil.
