Dengue Fever (Virus)
Dengue Fever
Dedicated to Christian, who is weak with Dengue Oct. 3, 2007.Dengue is a fever caused by a virus transmitted by a mosquito. Asia and South America have major outbreaks in 2007. Dengue is not a new disease. There are many cases in the Philippines. Please pray especially for the children.
***************************************************************
Stats:
a) In the Philippines in the second week of Oct. 2007 the dengue sick were counted as:
four thousand - Mark 8:9 + the number of a feeding of the multitudes
cuatro mil - Spanish
b) In South America in 2007 the numbers until October:
six hundred thousand - Numbers 11:21
seiscientos mil - Spanish
***************************************************************
Rest (in bed), fluids (water) and pain relief for the joints and muscles is in order, as there is no approved vaccine nor cure at this time.
There are 4 known types of dengue:
DEN-1; DEN-2; DEN-3 and DEN-4 according to the CDC. Immunity to one does not give immunity to the other three. Infections at one time with more than one type are common.
***************************************************************
"Dengue" naturally is not a word in the Bible.
The "gue" spelling indicates to me that the word has a French and/or Spanish connections.
Webster's Dictionary 'Dengue' Search
Under the title "Modern Translations" are the "dengue" word in about 20 common languages.
However, to find "dengue" in many even uncommon languages, I rendered it in (1 consonant + 1 vowel) syllables as best as I can from names and places in the Bible as examples for the other languages:

Naming this scourge internationally is the best gift I have, since this virus needs to be eradicated internationally for there to be no more cases.
It's a little step...please use YOUR talents too...prayer and practical talents.

According to takeourword.com, this is the history of the word "dengue":
When Europeans began to colonise Africa they encountered several new diseases. They therefore adopted the African words for them. Such a word is dengue (as in dengue fever). This word comes from the
Swahili phrase ka dinga pepo where
ka means "a kind of...",
dinga "sudden cramp-like seizure" and
pepo "plague".
The disease appeared in Cuba in 1827 and the name was popularly (but incorrectly) identified with the Spanish word dengue meaning "fastidiousness" or "prudery". From Cuba, the word traveled to the United States, and eventually to the English-speaking world.
