The Castroit regime did not want to reveal to the world the existence of an epidemic of dengue fever in the spring and summer of 1997 because it was a personal embarrassment to Fidel Castro, who had previously declared that the mosquito responsible for dengue, the Aedes aegypti, had been eradicated long before by the long arm of the Revolution. (The Castro regime’s Pyrrhic victory against the dengue epidemic in Cuba: The Castro regime's Pyrrhic victory against the dengue epidemic in Cuba | Babalu Blog) “None of the epidemics which have lashed the Island, have been as pernicious as the epidemic that the Castro regime represent.”
