Is dengue fever still on the rise in Mexico or is it subsiding?

It seems that it is.

Here’s a news report of quite a few confirmed cases and an increase of 35% over that 5 week period in Oct 2013 (in Oaxaca)

However, Oaxaca doesn’t seem to be the leader. Yucatan, Veracruz, and Quintana Roo all had more cases of Dengue than Oaxaca.

Another good thing to consider is that there are next to no mosquitos during the dry season (Nov-May), most of the year.

The British FCO seems to indicate that Dengue Fever is still a risk in Mexico:
