Dengue fever is the most prevailing mosquito borne viral disease in the human. The virus is transmitted by the tiger mosquito (Aedes aegypti). Around 40% of the world population is at risk of infection with Dengue virus. Every year 50 million people get infected with the virus, causing classical dengue fever (DF) such as hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. Traditionally, Southeast Asian countries have major outbreaks of Dengue every 3-5 years. Outbreaks increasing because of relocation of people from rural to cities or vice versa.
