#1 Or maybe it used to be endemic and under Cristina is being brought under control

Doesn't seem likely - Argentina has no money for containing a disease only affecting the mostly aboriginal population of the north.
CFK is too busy running the country to the ground.

“Argentina so far this year has not reported any dengue cases although the disease IS endemic in certain areas of the tropical north.”
Do you get it now: it IS endemic. All of us in Uruguay KNOW the stupid cow thinks nothing of the nort end of AG - that's to the west of Uruguay.
If WE are not careful we will be shooting dogs as they come across from them, kike UYU has had to do in the past when they came from Brasil.
FYI Dogs are a crucial link in the infection chain, without infected dogs there are no human infections.
You know, you are becoming a real idiot over TMBOA when you post absolute crap like this with no understanding or care for anyone else's situation.
FFS grow up.

Could that be related to a recent post he made, telling us he said thee things just to antagonise the Brits?
BTW, I think it went unnoticed, but he referred to Argentina as “our country” recently too.
:- D
Do you people realize how DIFFICULT is to have no cases of a disease that is ENDEMIC to a region, due to climate? Especially when you have immediate neighbors to the north (Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil), where the disease is almost every year rampant?
Nov 29th, 2012 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You people don't have a clue do you.
Meanwhile, the USA can't contain a stupid mosquito with West Nile, and that's a disease that is NON-ENDEMIC, meaning that climate conditions are at best neutral (and in the northern USA negative) for propagation. Yet this year was a record with dozens of deaths and tens of thousands of infected.
Go study some basic biology, climatology, and epidemics and then comment you sciolist sophomores.

Nov 29th, 2012 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well you may not know much about dengue but I do.
What causes the problem every year are the morons who forget each year to do the necessary spraying BEFORE the water born version emerges as a full mosquito and thus able to infect itself when it sucks blood from (usualyy in Brasil) infected dogs.
Whilst spraying will not stop dengue completely it WILL seriously curtail the numbers of infections and reduce significantly the number of deaths.
Who trusts the reporting of CFK's government, anyway.
