JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - An outbreak of dengue fever has killed more than 1,000 Indonesians in the past four months, the official Antara news agency reported Sunday.

The mosquito-borne disease has hit especially hard this year, striking people all over this nation of 200 million people.

Dengue fever killed 705 people in 1997, Antara quoted Dr. Thomas Suroso of the health ministry as saying. He released statistics on dengue victims at a seminar Saturday in the Java Island city of Semarang.

Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand also have reported surges in Dengue cases.

The striped Aedes aegypti mosquito carries the virus, which can inflict fever, joint pains and chills for weeks. One strain causes hemorrhaging and even death. Children are especially susceptible, and there is no vaccine.
