Dengue is mostly spread by the bite of the Aeades aegypti mosquito. Some people have no symptoms, but dengue can also cause flu-like symptoms including fever, nausea, vomiting, rashes, eye pain and muscle, joint, or bone pain. There are no specific drugs to treat dengue, and there is only limited use of vaccines. The lack of treatment options increases the risk of developing severe dengue – which is potentially fatal. Dengue is the most widely distributed and rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world, fuelled by climate change, rapid urbanization and population growth. Dengue is classified by the World Health Organization as one of the top ten threats to public health.
