An outbreak of dengue fever has been reported in Mombassa, Kenya, and in Angola. This is the first confirmed outbreak in Mombassa since 1982, and dengue is unusual in Africa, although common in Asia. To reduce your chances of becoming a dengue fever victim, consider covering up towards the late afternoon, when the mosquitoes bite, and apply a good insect repellent to exposed areas of skin.
