Global Spread of Dengue Fever and Its Impact on Public Health: Expert Warns of Rising Mortality Rates

It is reported that to date there is no specific treatment for severe dengue, but early detection of the virus and access to medical care can reduce the mortality rate in severe forms of the disease.

Dengue is primarily found in urban areas with tropical and subtropical climates, but the spread of infected mosquitoes is affecting more countries, Alvarez said. According to the WHO expert, this is due to gradual climate change, as well as the El Niño phenomenon, which scientists recorded in 2023. Dengue has been reported in previously virus-free countries such as France, Italy and Spain.

Dengue fever is a viral infection that is transmitted transmissibly, that is, through the bites of blood-sucking arthropod carriers – mosquitoes.

Earlier, the head of the Health Security Agency, Jenny Harris, said that dengue would become a common infection in Britain in the coming decades. According to the expert, this is due to the spread of tiger mosquitoes in the region due to global warming.
