Dengue and Aedes aegypti.

My first post is a link to a story this morning by NPR on the resurgence of Denge in Peru, caused mostly by Aedes aegypti, the Yellow fever mosquito.  Aedes aegypti is long gone from our area of the country, but it was not that long ago that this species was responsible for seasonal outbreaks of deadly Yellow fever here in the deep south.
