The medical director of the Australia's CWG team Dr Peter Harcourt says at least a couple of athletes would catch the dengue fever during the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.
     
The deadly fever has claimed many lives in the host city.
     
British diver Peter Waterfield is the latest athlete who withdrew from the Games citing health concerns.
     
Harcourt hoped the number of dengue cases would be below that of the Kuala Lumpur Games, where six to seven caught the fever.
     
"I'm assuming I'll get a couple of cases and I'm hoping that's all there is," Harcourt quoted as saying by the 'Age'.      

Heavy rains in the past few days has added to the woes of the organisers as the basements at the Games Village are still waterlogged.
     
An under-construction overbridge also collapsed just outside the main venue Jawahar Lal Nehru stadium.
     
Delhi's Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday said it was a bit difficult to dry up the water-logged basements.
     
CGF chief Mike Fennell also said on Saturday reiterated that waterlogging remains a concern for them.

Olympic silver-medallist swimmer Eamon Sullivan said the Aussie athletes are well-prepared to deal with the dengue threat in the Indian capital.
     
"I think everyone seems to be forgetting about the mosquitoes,  that's going to be a very interesting one, you definitely have to take precautions," Sullivan told reporters in Sydney.
     
"We've got mosquito nets, we've got mosquito repellent, we've got long sleeve clothes, we've got wash that puts repellent on your clothes, we've got hand sanitizer, we've got the works," he said.
     
The Australian contingent on Saturday headed to Kuala Lumpur for a pre-Games camp before landing in Delhi on Wednesday.
