"This is alarming as dengue deaths are happening in spite of changes in the weather condition. The epistemology of dengue is changing and people should check their premises for mosquito breeding," he said. Another vector-borne disease, chikungunya, too continues to be reported from different hospitals in Delhi. The total number of chikungunya cases has gone up to 100, he said."
