Who spreads dengue?
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.
