[edit] Dengue Fever in Cuba

I notice that the article about Dengue Fever does not mention that the disease has apparently been weaponized given the outbreak in Cuba. I think either the Dengue Fever article should be updated (beyond my competance) or an article further explaining the July 6, 1981 attack on Cuba should be provided (again, not my purview).

u should add that, the 6 July is celebrated worldwide as the "day of kissing"
