Question

how does one get dengue fever​

Answer 1

The dengue virus is transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected mosquito. Only a few mosquito species are vectors for the dengue virus. (What is a vector? A vector is a vehicle that carries and transmits a disease to its host organism.)

When a mosquito bites a person who has dengue virus in his or her blood, the mosquito becomes infected with the dengue virus. An infected mosquito can later transmit that virus to healthy people by biting them. Dengue cannot be spread directly from one person to another, and mosquitoes are necessary for transmission of the dengue virus.

The mosquito that causes dengue virus is called Aedes aegypti
