Today, Dengue fever is in the range of 2.5 billion, meaning, 40% of the world’s population lives in areas where they run risk of catching dengue (CDC 2010b). That risk decreases or increases depending on where you live or what you are exposed to (ibid). Still to this day about 50 to 100 million infections occur annually (ibid). There have been around 22,000 deaths recorded per year. Dengue fever is still very much alive and haunting (ibid).
