n fact, nearly 4 billion people around the world are at risk of contracting dengue.

In response to this threat, Vectorcide has made its coating available in the Mekong Delta and Thailand.

Dengue Fever Mosquitoes transmit dengue, and it can be very serious and potentially life-threatening. There isn’t a specific treatment or vaccine for dengue.

Therefore, the best course of action is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes in countries where dengue fever is prevalent.

Types of Dengue Fever The virus that causes dengue is called dengue virus, or DENV. There are four serotypes of the dengue virus, which means that one person can be infected four times. Most infections only cause mild symptoms; however, it can cause an illness like the flu. In serious cases, this can cause a potentially life-threatening complication known as severe dengue.

Severe dengue requires medical treatment and is a leading cause of serious illness and death in some countries.
