Quick Answer
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral illness that can cause high fever, severe pain, and sometimes dangerous bleeding or shock. It is spread mainly by Aedes mosquitoes.
The Full Story
Dengue is caused by dengue virus, which has four main serotypes. Many infections are mild, but some people develop severe dengue with plasma leakage, bleeding, or organ impairment. The disease is common in tropical and subtropical urban areas where Aedes mosquitoes thrive. Vaccines exist in some countries for people with specific exposure histories, and mosquito control remains a major prevention strategy.
