The World Cup tournament is threatened by a dengue epidemic in Brazil. NPR has done 2 stories in 2 days on this situation. Brazil is doing what they can to tap down the spread in the city that is hosting the World Cup to protect the teams and visitors from contracting the disease.
The follow up story was done the next day and explains what the disease is.

The reason this has caught my interest is because there has been cases reported the last few years here in Florida. The mosquito that carries the disease is living the Keys. My grandkids doctor told me that he is seeing diseases that he was told years ago in medical school that he would never see in the US and now he finds himself treating them at the clinic locally.

I just want to add that they are worried about power shortage because of the drought in Brazil.
