Year: 2005 Author: UNEP/GRID-Arendal
Description:
Shows the increase in dengue fever as temperature rises in correlation with El Niño in Trinidad and Tobago. There is neither good prophylactic nor cure for dengue fever, a disease spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. There are four different strains of the disease.

Increasing temperatures promote the spread of this disease.
