With more than one-third of the world’s population living in areas at risk for transmission, dengue infection is a leading cause of illness and death in the tropics and subtropics. As many as 100 million people are infected yearly. Dengue is caused by any one of the four related viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. There are not yet any vaccines to prevent infection with Dengue virus (DENV) and the most effective protective measure is to avoid mosquito bites. When infected, early recognition and prompt supportive treatment can substantially lower the risk of developing severe disease.
