A person can contract dengue fever multiple times, as there are four distinct serotypes of the dengue virus (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4). Infection with one serotype typically provides lifelong immunity to that specific type, but not to the others. Subsequent infections with different serotypes can occur and may increase the risk of severe dengue. Therefore, it's possible to have dengue fever up to four times in a lifetime, once for each serotype.
What else can I help you with?
Is dengue fever it transmissable person to person?
No.
How can one contact Dengue from a Dengue infected person?
Dengue is primarily transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, not directly from person to person. However, if a mosquito bites a person infected with the dengue virus, it can then transmit the virus to other individuals through its bites. In rare cases, dengue can be transmitted through blood transfusions, organ transplants, or from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth. To prevent dengue, it is essential to control mosquito populations and avoid bites.

Can a person infected with dengue be a lifetime carrier?
No, a person infected with dengue cannot be a lifetime carrier of the virus. While dengue can cause severe illness and complications during an infection, the immune system typically clears the virus from the body. However, infection with one of the four dengue virus serotypes provides lifelong immunity to that specific serotype, but not to the others, meaning a person can still be infected again by different serotypes.
What is the name of the dengue carrier mosquito?
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are the only ones that have the ability to transmit dengue virus to humans. In both species the cause of bite are the females need blood to produce eggs.
