What organism acts as a vector to spread dengue fever?

A striped Aedes aegypti mosquito that has previously bitten an infected person. Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus.Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.


Why do platelets decreases during fever?

Platelets don't decrease during every kind of fever. It is decreased particularly in Dengue Fever. The major cause of low platelet count is the destruction of platelet mediated by the dengue virus or the antibodies that are secreted in response to virus infection. Also, during dengue is the suppression of bone marrow by the dengue virus (The bone-marrow is the site of the haematopoeisis, blood cells formation).


Dengue or hemorrhagic fever often causes internal bleeding the blood cells being attacked by the organism causing dengue are most probably the?

Aedes Mosquito

Why does white blood cells decrease in dengue fever?

In dengue fever, white blood cells can decrease because the virus directly targets and destroys them. Additionally, the viral infection can trigger the immune system to release certain chemicals that can suppress the production of white blood cells. This decrease in white blood cells can make the body more vulnerable to infections.
