k
In April 1988 while being stationed at Subic Bay Naval Base Philippines I got very sick with Dengue Fever. And to my dismay in June of 1988 I caught Double Malaria (Vivix and Falciparum). As I recall I had 3 days of going to the clinic and getting 24 hours bed rest. On the 3rd day I went to the hospital and spent 6-7 days there for both diseases'. I was mean and grouchy with the Dengue. But with the Malaria I was crying for my Mama. Both diseases' were similar. I recorded a higher fever with the Malaria, but maybe the Dengue felt worse. Before all of this. I heard of Malaria but not so much of Dengue if at all. So to answer your question. Due to the world news one hears of Malaria and not as much so for Dengue. I'm thinking that Malaria is more prevalent. But either one Dengue or Malaria I wouldn't wish them on anyone.

Malaria affects as many as 250 million people per year.
Because I'm smart!
Sheer numbers
its the truth truth
I assumed due to the article focusing on the number of people infected by Malaria annually but not doing the same for Dengue Fever was a tell-tale sign. But it was only an assumption.
It kills about 250 million people per years and is the most common disease today.
I had it twice...
Read the above article!
because its infection capability
in my area survey
Affects as many as 250 million people every year.
Causes between one to three million death in Africa, and mostly in children and pregnant women
A primary contributor to poverty in many countries.
**** off!
Because it resides in the liver, it is hard to treat.
because i am a doctor in Africa and i have seen the incident rate
spread in Asia, africa and Latin America
No good reason. The article says 250 million contract it, but NOT how many contract dengue fever!
because it affects so many people
because i wanted to
I live in Africa and my husband has had Malaria and I have had Dengue.....malaria kills a lot of people, but that said dengue is no walk in the park.
stupid i m epidemiologist
Because it is seen in more places around the world as compared to dengue fever.
Because malaria is more wide spread across the globe, while dengue fever is mostly limited to tropical urban areas of south east Asia
Malaria is more widespread and since now can't be cured, as in most of Africa
more people are killed by it than Dengue.
Of the two, malaria is the more discused
the reason would be probably be the human factors wich hand to formation of enough breeding sites within tense human habits and also malaria is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes
Because Malaria is the main disease of poverty in the world,and is re emerging in other areas.
