The spread of dengue fever in the village of Al-Aleqat in Qena Governorate in Upper Egypt raised questions and concerns.
This comes as the World Health Organization revealed that the total number of dengue cases reported in the Americas region until July 1, 2023 approached 3 million cases, 45% of which were laboratory confirmed and classified as severe dengue. No deaths have been reported in the area
And the Ministry of Health in Egypt announced the presence of suspected cases of dengue fever in Safaga and Al-Qusayr, which amounted to 67 cases, and the ministry began to take precautionary measures to control the situation, after the journalist Mustafa Bakri issued warnings of an outbreak of the disease in the village of Al-Aleqat in the Qus district of Qena governorate.

How did dengue fever reach Qena?
There is no evidence that the disease that afflicted many of the villagers of Al-Aleqat in Qena Governorate is dengue fever, because it is transmitted by a specific type of mosquito, which only exists in specific environmental conditions that are not available in the governorate.
It is worth noting that dengue fever is not transmitted from one person to another, as its transmission requires the presence of a “mosquito”.
