Dengue
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing flu-like symptoms, including high fever, headaches, and muscle pain. Dengue, transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes, can lead to severe complications like dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. There's no specific treatment, and prevention focuses on mosquito control and protection.
