Dengue Pronunciation Queries

I had written something interesting about different ways my staff members pronounced 'dengue' That artile is available at:

I use a service provided by 'Statcounter', which tells me who visits which pages my blog. I used to get a couple of hits a week for this page, all of them using 'Google' to find out how to pronounce this word. Suddenly there is a sort of tidal wave of hits to this page. Over the last 3 and a quarter days, I have had 24 hits. Their details are as follows.

It indicates there is a serious outbreak of the condition. I was surprised that out of 23 hits, 5 have been from UK and one has been from USA. Those people whose language we have to learn and speak should have to do a 'Google' search and reach my blog to learn the pronunciation of this word is indicative of something that I do not want to put down here.
