The Arizona State Health Dept says that the local media have not clearly 
explained the situation.  The dengue vector mosquito is present, but 
although there have been cases of travelers to Mexico coming back to the 
State with dengue, there is NO transmission in Arizona.  For more info 
look at http://www.healthnet.org/promed.html later today for the item 
"Dengue rumor false - Arizona, USA."
