Dengue is a viral illness transmitted by day-biting mosquitoes in many tropical areas. There are no vaccines or pills to prevent this illness and symptoms are similar to those of malaria: high fever and chills at least one week after the bite of an infected mosquito. Avoid mosquito bites as much as possible and seek medical attention if a high fever occurs.
Immunizations of worldwide importance
