Online Game Helping Brazil Beat Dengue

BRUSSELS, August 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Game-changer: Play and Share New Interactive Dengue Fever Game

    As the Olympic Games kick off in Rio, a new online game is raising awareness of dengue
fever - a disease that infects 750,000 in Brazil every year.

    Brought to you by Break Dengue, the game is part of the All Against Dengue
[https://www.breakdengue.org/rio ] campaign designed to help people in Brazil protect
themselves from the disease - and have a little fun along the way.

    Participants must race against dengue fever, learning about its prevalence,
transmission and prevention, then challenge their friends to beat their score.

    Serious fun 

    The game carries a serious message. Dengue fever is endemic in Brazil with more than
750,000 cases reported this year in the nine states experiencing an epidemic.

    By reducing breeding opportunities for the mosquitoes that spread the disease and
using insect repellents, everyone can play their part in preventing its spread.

    The launch of the new game follows unveiling of Dengue Track
[https://www.breakdengue.org/dengue-track ] which allows the public to report cases of
dengue fever in real time.
