4 JULY 1998. SINGAPORE:
DISEASE (DENGUE) The Singapore Times reports: "Dengue fever cases are still
on the rise. There were 2,079 cases in the first five months of this year,
compared with 1,285 cases in the same period last year. Construction sites
are a haven for these pests, which can breed wherever water collects, from
uncompleted floors to discarded building materials."--Clyde Markon docmarkon@worldnet.att.net
