Spread of Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

Spread of Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

As mentioned before Dengue is transmitted by the Mosquito vector Aedes mosquito.

The mosquito is first infected with dengue virus after it bites a person who has dengue fever or DHF. After a week of multiplication inside the mosquito, the dengue virus can be transmitted to a healthy person by the mosquito bite.

Dengue cannot spread directly from person to person.
