Health officials on the Pacific island country of Tuvalu, an island with a population of slightly more than 10,000 people, issued a public health alert last week confirming the detection of dengue fever on the island.
Dengue in Tuvalu may strain limited healthcare resources. Rising sea levels create ideal mosquito habitats. Climate change exacerbates outbreaks. Some rare dengue strains can cause neurological symptoms like encephalitis or Guillain-Barré syndrome.
