Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral illness caused by the dengue virus, primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti. It is characterized by high fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding. In some cases, dengue can progress to severe forms, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, which can be life-threatening. Prevention focuses on mosquito control and avoiding bites, as there is no specific antiviral treatment for the disease.
