Key facts
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection.
The virus responsible for causing dengue, is called dengue virus (DENV). There are four DENV serotypes, meaning that it is possible to be infected four times.
Severe dengue is a leading cause of serious illness and death in some Asian and Latin American countries. It requires management by medical professionals.
While many DENV infections produce only mild illness, DENV can cause an acute flu-like illness. Occasionally this develops into a potentially lethal complication, called severe dengue.
There is no specific treatment for dengue/severe dengue. Early detection of disease progression associated with severe dengue, and access to proper medical care lowers fatality rates of severe dengue to below 1%.
Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide, mostly in urban and semi-urban areas.
The global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. About half of the world's population is now at risk. There are an estimated 100-400 million infections each year.
Dengue prevention and control depends on effective vector control measures. Sustained community involvement can improve vector control efforts substantially.

Subject: Need to increase anti-mosquito measures to check malaria and dengue
Respected Sir,
With due respect, I would like to bring it to your kind concern that recently there has been a surge in the diseases spread by mosquito vector.
It is mainly because cleanliness measures are not taken adequately. Heaps of garbage are found outside the houses and many sewage tanks are also left uncovered. This leads to breeding grounds for malaria and dengue-carrying mosquitoes.
Hence, it is necessary to increase anti-mosquito measures at the earliest.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
