PHNOM PENH, Aug. 21 (AP) - (Kyodo)—The number of Cambodians infected with dengue fever this year has nearly doubled from the same time last year, a new report said Friday.
According to Cambodia's National Centre for Malaria, within the first 31 weeks of 2009, at least 7,227 people were infected with dengue fever, well above the 4,261 people infected during the same period last year.
However, only 19 people have died from the mosquito-borne disease so far this year, less than half the 40 who died in the same period last year.
Ngan Chantha, director of the malaria center, said large-scale outbreaks of dengue fever occur about every two or three years in Cambodia.
This year, he added, because of the high number of cases, the ministry of health has allocated 90 tons of pesticides to try to kill mosquitoes in all the country's 24 provinces and cities.
