Guadeloupe Attitude highlights (Fr) the story of Alexandre, a 6-month old Guadeloupean infant who passed away recently from dengue fever (one of two in the last month) and adds: “Authorities fear a resurgence of the dengue virus, chikungunya version. Transmitted by female mosquitoes, it is not mortal in its primary form but in its secondary form provokes grave hemorrages on older people and infants especially … The fight against mosquitoes should become a priority on the island through an outreach campaign.”
