The rapid spread of dengue fever in parts of Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay has caused authorities to declare a health alert for the disease. Higher rainfall than usual and uncommonly warm weather have fueled the outbreak, which is worst in Brazil and Paraguay. In Brazil’s Mato Grosso do Sul state, authorities estimate that some 15,000 people have been infected this year, more than in all of 2006. Paraguay has seen more than 3,000 cases this year.
