CIA - The World Factbook
- There have been some significant changes to the latest edition of The World Factbook . Recent confirmation that the United Kingdom Government administers the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia on Cyprus as dependencies (and not as lease areas like the US Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba) has required a changing of their status and their addition to the Factbook as new entities. In addition, the European Union has been included as an "Other" entity at the end of the listing.

Dengue fever, a viral disease transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti (fig. 6), can spread rapidly in explosive epidemics. More than a million people per year worldwide are afflicted by dengue, the most significant mosquito-borne disease affecting humans. The incidence of dengue has risen, and dengue epidemics have occurred with increasing frequency in the Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, dengue is a seasonal disease estimated to be responsible for more than 1,000 hospitalizations annually. Dengue transmission is influenced by the behavior of Aedes aegypti , the movement and distribution of humans, and virus development within the mosquito. The role of each of these factors is poorly understood, in part, because of the absence of studies on the spatial-temporal patterns of dengue cases.
