SENTENCE 1: “There is no denying that the actual number of cases would be much, much higher,” adding, “Our interest has not been to arrive at an exact figure.”  Dr. Scott Halstead, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Biometrics, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD said, “I’d conservatively estimate that there are 37 million dengue infections occurring every year in India, and maybe 227,500 hospitalizations.”  “When you look at the number of reported cases India has, it’s a joke,” said Dr. Harold S. Margolis, chief of the dengue branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
SENTENCE 2: Asian tiger mosquitoes were introduced to the United States in Texas in the 1980s, and have taken hold up and down the East Coast and into New York and New Jersey and the numbers are rising fast in the New York City area.
SENTENCE 3: “The probability of an outbreak refers to the chance of the occurrence of a human to mosquito to human transmission event,” said Diego Ruiz-Moreno, a postdoctoral associate in the ecology and evolutionary biology department and the paper’s lead author.
