| Rio de Janeiro: A dengue fever outbreak has plagued Rio de
Janeiro since January 2002. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease.
The elimination of standing water, which is a breeding ground for the
mosquitoes, is a primary defense against mosquito-borne diseases like
dengue. Removing such water remains a difficult problem in many urban
regions. The International Space Station astronauts took this image (ISS001-ESC-5418) of Rio de Janeiro in December 2000. |
