I was in Delhi a couple of years ago when they were having a dengue epidemic; the disease is carried by mosquitos that bite in the daytime, so be sure to take lots of repellent (DEET) with you.

Try the World Heath Organisation for up to date information.
Not sure about the Dengue Fever situation but there is a blurb and links concerning the Jap Encep outbreak. Be Alert, Not Alaramed.
