Dengue fever threat to World Cup fans in Brazil

Fans heading to Brazil for the World Cup may need to guard against dengue fever - a disease carried by mosquitoes for which there is no vaccine.

Most regions of Brazil will be low risk for the disease, but some experts say the tournament may coincide with a spike in cases in the north east of the country.
