Abstract
Dengue virus, a major arboviral pathogen transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has rapidly become a global public health concern. This comprehensive report explores various aspects of the Dengue virus, including its virology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and the broader impact it has on public health systems. Understanding Dengue virus is crucial for effective control and management of this complex and evolving infectious disease.
1. Introduction
Dengue fever, caused by the Dengue virus (DENV), is an emerging infectious disease of great importance. Annually, approximately 400 million dengue cases and 22 000 deaths occur worldwide [1] It is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Dengue virus is a member of the Flavivirus genus within the Flaviviridae family. It is characterized by its genetic diversity
