Dengue Fever

Dengue Fever is a very serious mosquito-borne disease comprised of four different strains.

If not treated promptly, or if another strain of the disease is contracted, a more severe disease, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever will almost always follow, resulting in death or permanent disabilities of the victim.

What is Dengue Fever?

Dengue Fever, also known as Breakbone Fever or O’nyong-nyong Fever, is primarily a disease of the tropics and subtropics that is transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, a day-biting mosquito.

Until recently, Dengue Fever was relatively unknown in the Western Hemisphere. However, due to the increase in world travel, Dengue Fever is increasingly becoming a plague of global proportions and may soon eclipse Malaria as the most significant mosquito-borne viral disease affecting humans.
