A dengue fever epidemic which occurred in Ribeirão Preto County, S. Paulo State, Brazil, during the period November, 1990 to March, 1991 has been analysed elsewhere. The general aspects of dengue epidemiology and control have been reviewed in this article. Emphasis is given to the analysis of some factors involved in the risk of dengue haemorrhagic fever and ecological aspects of the vector, as well as to the appropriateness of strategies for dengue eradication or control. Epidemiological characteristics of dengue, mainly those related to its occurrence in different geographical areas and periods of time are described. The Ribeirão Preto epidemic has thus, been set within the context of the spread of the disease at global level, in the Americas, and particularly in Brazil and S. Paulo State.
