Dengue fever is the fastest emerging arboviral infection spread
by Aedes mosquitoes with major public health consequences in
over 100 tropical and sub-tropical countries in South-East Asia,
the Western Pacific, and South and Central America. Up to 2.5
billion people globally live under the threat of dengue fever and its
severe forms—dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock
syndrome (DSS). More than 75% of these people, or approximately
1.8 billion, live in the Asia-Pacific Region. As the disease spreads to
new geographical areas, the frequency of the outbreaks is increasing
along with changing disease epidemiology. It is estimated that 50
a million cases of dengue fever occur worldwide annually and half a
million people suffering from DHF require hospitalization each year,
a very large proportion of whom (approximately 90%) are children
less than five years old. About 2.5% of those affected with dengue
die of the disease.
Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes that infects around 100-400 million people annually worldwide. It is caused by the dengue virus of which there are 4 serotypes. Infection with one type provides lifelong immunity to that type but subsequent infections with other types increase the risk of severe dengue. The disease ranges from mild fever to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. There is no vaccine for dengue prevention currently.
Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. There are four types of the virus. Infection causes flu-like symptoms but can develop into severe dengue hemorrhagic fever in some cases. While most cases resolve on their own, severe cases involve bleeding, low platelet counts, and shock and can be fatal if not properly treated. Recurrent infection with a different virus type increases the risk of more severe disease. Prevention relies on controlling mosquito populations and avoiding bites.
1. Dengue is caused by a virus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
2. Infection causes dengue fever or a more severe form known as dengue hemorrhagic fever.
3. Secondary infection with a different virus subtype increases the risk of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever due to antibody-dependent enhancement.

Laboratory diagnosis involves serological tests like NS1 antigen detection, IgM ELISA, and molecular tests like RT-PCR. Sensitivity and specificity vary by test but are generally over 95% for validated ELISA kits.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread worldwide. In Nepal, dengue is endemic and cases have increased in recent years. Between January and September 2022, over 28,000 suspected and confirmed dengue cases and 38 deaths were reported in Nepal, affecting all seven provinces. Dengue virus has four serotypes and infection provides long-term immunity to one serotype but not others, increasing risk for severe dengue from sequential infections. The disease is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and has a 2-7 day viremic phase in humans. Symptoms include an acute flu-like illness that progresses through febrile, critical and recovery phases, with potential for severe

This document provides a review and recommendations on the diagnosis and management of dengue in children. It discusses that dengue is endemic in many parts of Asia and the Americas. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Dengue classification has changed from dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever to simply dengue, dengue with warning signs, and severe dengue. Diagnosis involves tests for the NS1 antigen, IgG and IgM antibodies. Treatment depends on severity and can involve outpatient, inpatient or emergency care, monitoring for shock and hemorrhage.

Fruit bats are considered the natural host. It describes the five species of Ebolavirus, including Zaire ebolavirus which causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. Transmission occurs through contact with body fluids of infected humans or animals. Current outbreaks are occurring in West Africa.

Dengue Chikukunya & Malaria in the viewpoint of Medicine Paediatric & ObstetricsMuhammad Helmi
Multidisciplinary Seminar on Vector Borne Diseases such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya was discussed. It was introduced that vectors are living organisms that can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from animals to humans. There are two main types of vectors - biological and mechanical. Vector borne diseases account for over 17% of all infectious diseases and cause more than 1 billion cases and over 1 million deaths every year. Dengue, malaria and chikungunya were some of the key vector borne diseases highlighted. Their causative agents, transmission, clinical features and management were explored. Emphasis was placed on prevention and control of their vectors to curb the spread of these diseases.
This document provides information on Dengue virus and the Aedes mosquito. It discusses:

- The life cycle and characteristics of the Aedes aegypti mosquito vector, including its preference for breeding in clean stagnant water and biting humans during the day.
- Epidemiology of dengue including 50 million annual cases and increasing global risk. Transmission requires the mosquito to bite an infected then susceptible human 8-12 days apart.
- Clinical syndromes from dengue fever to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Diagn
This document discusses arboviruses, which are viruses transmitted by arthropods like mosquitoes and ticks. It describes several important virus families and genera that cause diseases in humans, including Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae. Specific important arboviruses mentioned are dengue virus, yellow fever virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and others.

Prevention and control methods like surveillance, vector control and vaccination are also summarized.
Dengue fever is a tropical disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by mosquitoes. It infects 50-100 million people worldwide each year. There are four types of dengue virus that cause the disease. Symptoms include sudden onset fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and sometimes a rash. In severe cases it can develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, which can be life threatening. Prevention focuses on reducing mosquito habitats and preventing mosquito bites.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that infects 50-100 million people annually. It is caused by the dengue virus, of which there are 4 serotypes. Infection with one serotype provides lifelong immunity to that serotype but only temporary protection against the others. Secondary infections pose greater risk of severe disease. Dengue ranges from a self-limiting fever to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. Diagnosis involves identifying symptoms, performing serological tests, and detecting virus or antibodies. There is no vaccine or specific treatment, so care focuses on fluid replacement and symptom relief.
Ebola virus disease (EVD), also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by ebolaviruses. EVD was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The virus spreads through direct contact with body fluids from infected humans or animals. Symptoms include fever, body aches, diarrhea and sometimes internal and external bleeding. While there is no approved vaccine yet, treatment focuses on supportive care to help the immune system fight the virus.

2. Dengue Virus
The dengue virus forms a distinct complex under the genus flavi
viruses based on antigenic and biological characteristics. There are
four dengue virus serotypes which are designated as DENV-1,
DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4.

and Aedes albopictus is secondary
vector for dengue in Bangladesh.

5. Transmission Cycle
The female usually becomes infected with the dengue virus when it
takes a blood meal from a person during the acute febrile (viremia)
phase of dengue illness. After an extrinsic incubation period of 8 to 10
days, the mosquito becomes infected. The virus is transmitted when
the infected female mosquito bites and injects its saliva into the wound
of the person bitten.
6. The cycle of dengue continues by this process. Dengue begins
abruptly after an intrinsic incubation period of 4 to 7 days (range 3–14
days). There is also evidence of vertical transmission of dengue virus
from infected female mosquitoes to the next generation.

15. Clinical Manifestation of Dengue Infection
Many patients infected with dengue virus remain asymptomatic.
Others, after an incubation period of 4-7 (range 3-14) days, develop
a febrile illness the manifestations of which are similar and
overlapping in nature grouped into ‘Dengue Syndromes’ which
encompass the following:
• Undifterentiated fever
• DF
• DHF
• Expanded Dengue Syndrome (rare)
