Those living or traveling in hot, humid, or tropical environments/climates. Dengue-carrying mosquitos congregate where there is standing water and they are more active after dusk and before dawn. I also read that menstruating women, persons of darker skin, and hairy people are more susceptible to mosquito bites.

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.
