Dengue fever (pronounced DEN-geh) is a viral tropical disease transmitted by mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medical cure and treatments only manage the symptoms of the disease, some of which can be fatal. The only possible preventive measures are to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and to avoid mosquito bites.
Dengue is not infectious between humans. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is found in tropical regions throughout the world. In much of this area, particularly South-East Asia but also in Queensland, Australia, the tropical South Pacific islands, South Asia, Africa, tropical parts of North and South America, including the Caribbean, these mosquitoes carry the flavivirus, which causes Dengue fever.
