Dengue Fever: A Growing Global Concern"

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It is transmitted by the Aedes mosquitoes, primarily Aedes aegypti. Symptoms of dengue fever include high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding.

Despite efforts to control mosquito populations, dengue fever continues to spread rapidly. Global warming and urbanization contribute to the proliferation of mosquitoes, increasing the risk of dengue transmission. Prevention measures include mosquito control, wearing protective clothing, and using insect repellents.
