   Dengue is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes.

   About half of the world's population is now at risk of dengue with an estimated 100–400 million infections occurring each year.

   Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide, mostly in urban and semi-urban areas.

   While many dengue infections are asymptomatic or produce only mild illness, the virus can occasionally cause more severe cases, and even death.
