Dengue, also known as dengue fever or breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the dengue virus. It’s prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, but can also spread to other areas during the summer. Dengue is spread by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. The mosquito becomes infected when it bites a person with dengue in their blood.
