I read this article somewhere and thought it could be of concern for those planning for Rio.
Also Brazil's Health Ministry warned that 16 of the country's 27 states are at the risk of an outbreak of dengue fever in 2009.
So pals take care in Rio but also enjoy the live city.

This is only 6% of Rio de Janeiro's total population. Though it may be a concern but so is the fact 7 million die a year due to cancer worldwide. Let's relax on fear and just do...experience life, be informed, and definitely go to Rio. American In Brasil Interactive
