Dengue Cases Surge in Malaysia

The Malaysian Ministry of Health announced a sharp increase in dengue cases in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley area, with a total of 58,079 cases since the beginning of August. This represents a 56.2% increase compared to the same period last year, with 55 reported deaths. The rise was mainly concentrated in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and the state of Selangor, where increases of up to 106% were recorded. The ministry attributed the surge to unexpected weather conditions, particularly heavy rainfall and high temperatures, which create an ideal environment for the breeding of the "Aedes aegypti" mosquito. Despite ongoing intensive preventive and control measures, the risk of infection continues to be high.
