Dengue virus (DENV) is the cause of dengue fever.It is a mosquito-borne, single positive-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae; genus Flavivirus. [1] [2] Four serotypes of the virus have been found, and a reported fifth has yet to be confirmed, [3] [4] [5] all of which can cause the full spectrum of disease. [1]

It is frequently asymptomatic; if symptoms appear, they typically begin 3 to 14 days after infection.

Dengue fever: Dengue virus: primates mosquito bite (primarily by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) The earliest detailed descriptions of dengue-like illness appeared in medical records from 1779 to 1780, but has had a significant re-emergence in recent years (see for example 2019–20 dengue fever epidemic). Dirofilariasis: Dirofilaria spp.
Dengue fever is caused by infection through viruses of the family Flaviviridae. The illness is most commonly transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions. [58] Dengue virus has four different serotypes, each of which are antigenically related but have limited cross-immunity to reinfection. [59]
Dengue illness was 'worse than childbirth' While many people infected with dengue can remain free of symptoms, the disease — also known as "break-bone fever" can be deadly. It can also be ...
