Dengue Fever
Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. According to the World Health Organization, dengue is one of the fastest spreading vector-borne diseases, with over 3.9 billion people in 128 countries at risk. It causes flu-like symptoms and in rare cases develops into a potentially lethal complication called severe dengue. With the disease spreading rapidly, being aware of its symptoms, causes, risk factors and learning ways to prevent is critical.
