About Dengue Fever

Dengue fever is gaining its popularity worldwide. It is a devastating disease transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. It is caused due to the infection of the dengue virus. Tropical regions, especially India, Taiwan, South China, Southeast Asia, Mexico, Carribean island, excluding the Cayman and Cuba, Africa, South and Central America excluding Argentina, Chile and Paraguay are more prone to this disease. The risk is growing in regions of the south United States and the border of Mexico and Texas.

When the Aedes mosquito bites an infected person, the virus gets transmitted to the mosquito. And, when the infected mosquito bites a healthy person, the virus gets into the blood of the healthy person. The healthy person then gets affected by the dengue fever. This is a life threatening disease. It spreads rapidly and may turn to be epidemic.
