Symptoms

Vector
The virus spreads through bites of
infected Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes,
with other Aedes species as
secondary vectors. Small, dark
mosquito with white markings;
distinctive striped appearance.

Life Cycle
Prevention
DENGUE Individual measures to avoid mosquito bites, such
as wearing full-coverage clothing, using mosquito
repellents, installing screens on windows and
SEBASTIÁN ABULAFIA doors, using mosquito nets, avoiding stagnant
LISANDRO LAINO water areas, and maintaining well-ventilated
living spaces. Additionally, governments can play
implement mosquito control programs, raise
public awareness, and invest in research for
innovative prevention methods.

Environment
Aedes aegypti prefers tropical climates. It
thrives in shadowy and damp places with tall
grasses. Contrary to popular belief, it breeds
in artificial containers, not natural water
bodies This "endophilic" behavior occurs
indoors, such as in apartments.
Tropicalization
Climate change can have a significant impact on the spread
and development of mosquito populations, which, in turn,
affects the transmission of diseases like dengue. Climate change
can lead to tropicalization, where regions that were previously
not suitable for mosquito breeding become more favorable due
to rising temperatures and increased rainfall. This creates an
environment conducive to the growth andd spread of Aedes
mosquitoes, extending the geographic range of dengue .
