Whilst dengue fever is a risk in many countries, it is most prevalent in Asia and Latin America.

What Is Dengue Fever?

According to the World Health Organization, dengue fever is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus (DENV).

There are four serotypes of dengue fever, meaning that it is possible for one individual to be infected four times.

Most dengue infections will only cause mild symptoms; however, it can cause a flu-like illness which can lead to lethal complications. As there is no specific treatment for dengue fever, preventative measures are crucial.
