Dengue most commonly occurs in areas with large populations of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aedes aegypti<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mosquitoes, such as in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This severe, flu-like illness affects infants, children, and adults. Dengue symptoms are quite similar to the symptoms of other illnesses, which is why it\u2019s easy to mistake them for symptoms of a different disease. However, dengue fever can worse or even become deadly if the symptoms get worse. Thus, it\u2019s important to know what dengue fever symptoms are to make sure that you can take action sooner rather than later.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-477be3d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"477be3d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fc8cba0\" data-id=\"fc8cba0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7adac1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"7adac1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"how_is_dengue_transmitted\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6daf8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c6daf8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How is dengue transmitted?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9542a99 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9542a99\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6036f8d\" data-id=\"6036f8d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-831ae6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"831ae6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <i>Aedes aegypti<\/i> mosquito species is the main culprit in transmitting dengue fever.

You\u2019ll just have to let it run its course, keep an eye on these dengue symptoms, and be ready to seek medical help if the symptoms get worse. If your child has dengue, keep them comfortable and listening to their paediatrician\u2019s advice is your best course of action.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to remember that in more severe cases, seeking medical help can help vastly improve the patient\u2019s condition. If you\u2019re unsure about how to proceed, ask for guidance from medical professionals with experience in dealing with dengue.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d862902 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d862902\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bace94\" data-id=\"4bace94\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbe508f elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"cbe508f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"dengue_fever_vaccination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bae6a65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bae6a65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dengue fever vaccination<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8584fa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8584fa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-599f626\" data-id=\"599f626\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-856478c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"856478c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is a dengue fever vaccine, it does come with a number of limitations.

Since mosquitoes are quite small and can move quickly, you won\u2019t always be able to avoid <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aedes aegypti<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mosquitoes.
