Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection affecting millions worldwide. The Aedes aegypti mosquito transmits dengue fever and is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In rare cases, the virus may also be passed down via pregnancy, breast milk, blood transfusions, and organ transplants. Data suggest that 100-400 million people are infected with dengue yearly. While most cases of dengue are mild, some can progress to severe dengue, which can be life-threatening.
