Dhaka (AFP) – More than 65,000 cases of dengue have been recorded in Bangladesh at the start of November, as climate change turns the disease into a year-round crisis, leaving some paediatric wards packed with children squeezed two to a bed. The Aedes mosquito that spreads dengue — identifiable by its black and white striped legs — breeds in stagnant pools, and cases once slowed after the monsoon rains faded.
