Dengue the unsounded killer disease on the rise worldwide

The World Health Organization WHO is still struggling to control a rapid spreading of Dengue disease, as up to this moment there still no proper medicine that would fight the disease to end whilst the number of people affected with a disease is rising every day.

According to the WHO report, the number of dengue disease cases are underreported and also many are misclassified. Up to 390 million infections of dengue-related diseases are reported yearly, and people in 128 countries are at risk of dengue infection related viruses, whilst it is estimated that since the year 2010 to the year 2016,  the number of people affected went higher from 2.2 million to 3.34 million.

Historically, before 1970, there were only 9 countries experienced with severe dengue epidemic, however, now more than 100 countries are affected by the pandemic, and most countries are in Africa, Americas, East Mediterranean, South-East Asia and Western Pacific.

Although Dengvaxia(CYD-TDV) medicine was developed to combat the dengue viruses, still, the treatment will determine the seriousness of a person affected by the viruses.  The dengue disease is transmitted by female mosquitos mainly from the Aedes eagypti and Ae albopictus.
