    Dengue (breakbone fever) is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes flu-like symptoms and sometimes severe dengue. It is common in over 100 countries and affects around 3 billion people worldwide. The dengue virus spreads when an infected mosquito bites a human and then bites others, infecting them. Most people recover after about a week of symptoms like fever, rash, and joint pain, but severe dengue can be life-threatening and requires hospitalization for symptoms such as stomach pain and vomiting. There is no vaccine, so prevention focuses on avoiding mosquito bites with clothing and repellent and removing standing water where mosquitoes breed.

    Dengue (breakbone fever)

    What is dengue?
    Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a
    severe flu-like illness and, sometimes causing a
    potentially lethal complication called severe dengue.

     Dengue is common in more than 100 countries


    around the world.
     Forty percent of the world’s population, about 3
    billion people, live in areas with a risk of dengue.
     Dengue is often a leading cause of illness in areas
    with risk.
    How Does Dengue Spread?

     A mosquito (usually of the Aedes species) bites an


    infected human.

     This mosquito is now infected with dengue fever.


    Mosquitoes are only carriers of the disease, it
    does not affect them as it does humans.

     The mosquito bites a human. That human is now


    infected with the virus. He or she will then infect
    any unaffected mosquitoes that bite them.
