Hence, the approximate impact will be from August to September 2023. This year, as per epidemiological data collected until April 2023, around 600 cases have been diagnosed which is highly alarming considering the usual incidence pattern in Nepal. Until April 2023, 600 dengue (EWARS report, EDCD), cases has already been diagnosed which is highly alarming as this is the very first time that dengue has occurred in the consecutive year in contrary to the usual cyclical pattern of dengue incidence in Nepal. On average, 20-30 cases of dengue have been found each week in different regions of Nepal. 1,387,082 people at risk.   WF-2023-000091-CAN Wild fire Canada GDACS - Medium in Canada   EP-2023-000090-NGA Epidemic Nigeria Nigeria is currently experiencing a large outbreak of Lassa fever, with 4702 suspected cases, five probable cases, and 877 confirmed cases between epidemiological weeks 1 and 15 of 2023 (week ending 16 April).
