If you are living or traveling in tropical areas where dengue fever is common, these tips may help reduce your risk of mosquito bites:

  1. Stay in air-conditioned or well-screened housing.
  2. Wear protective clothing.
  3. Use mosquito repellent.
  4. Reduce mosquito habitat.

Dengue fever is a virus, so there is no medicinal cure, though vaccines are being developed as preventative. Treatment is generally fluids and pain relievers. The more severe cases require hospitalization.

WHO recommends control and prevention through environmental management and modification as well as insecticide use in endemic areas and during outbreaks.
