Phnom Penh - After an epidemic last year, Cambodia has reported less than half the number of cases of the potentially deadly mosquito-borne dengue fever during the same period in 2008, an official said Thursday. Dengue Control Centre director Duong Socheat warned that the nation's main tourist hubs of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh remained amongst the highest risk areas as the country entered the peak of its monsoon season.
"For the period until August 1 this year we had some 3,800 cases compared to 10,000 cases last year, with 35 fatalities so far," Duong Socheat told Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
