Our common household mosquito - that is why it is so dangerous to get bitten by any mosquito. Dengue fever is different from our West Nile Virus of which our mosquito is the vector in that your second case of dengue fever can be deadly. It appears that the resistance your body develops to the first attack actually works with the virus on the second attack. That is why they are saying it is going to be 5 years or more before a treatment can be developed.

Why do dengue spread in monsoon?

Dengue spreads during the monsoon due to the increased availability of stagnant water, which serves as breeding grounds for Aedes mosquitoes, the primary vectors of the virus. Heavy rainfall creates puddles and containers that collect water, facilitating mosquito reproduction. Additionally, the warm and humid conditions typical of monsoon seasons enhance mosquito activity and lifespan, leading to higher transmission rates of dengue. Consequently, the combination of favorable breeding conditions and heightened mosquito populations increases the risk of dengue outbreaks during this time.
