ABSTRACT

Dengue fever is a significant threat to global health, caused by the dengue virus and transmitted mainly by Aedes mosquitoes. It is crucial to understand the transmission dynamics of the virus to develop effective control and prevention strategies. Epidemiological studies have provided valuable insights into outbreaks' spread patterns, risk factors, and nature. These are essential for targeted interventions such as vector control, reducing human-mosquito contact, and community-based preventive measures. At the same time, there is a pressing need to develop effective therapies to alleviate the disease burden and reduce mortality associated with dengue outbreaks. Current therapeutic research focuses on antiviral treatments, supportive care strategies, and vaccine development to combat the diverse clinical manifestations of dengue. To address the multifaceted challenges of dengue, there must be a concerted effort toward developing robust preventive measures, innovative therapies, and enhanced diagnostic tools. A comprehensive understanding of its transmission dynamics coupled with effective therapeutic interventions is pivotal in pursuing dengue control and mitigation, as it poses a formidable global health challenge.
