No, dengue is not a protozoan infection; it is caused by the dengue virus, which is a member of the flavivirus family. The virus is transmitted to humans primarily through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti. Dengue can lead to symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, and in severe cases, it can cause hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome. Protozoan infections are caused by single-celled organisms, whereas dengue is a viral disease.
