Military police in Honduras fumigate neighborhoods in Tegucigalpa as the country battles an outbreak of dengue. Earlier this year, health authorities declared a health emergency over the disease and launched a nationwide campaign to combat mosquito breeding sites. Doctor Lenin Quezada tells AFP that people affected by the disease are not seeking treatment early enough: "They believe that it is not that serious, that they can treat it at home with self-medication," he says.
