Since the beginning of the year, regional health authorities have recorded more than 3.5 million cases and thousands of deaths. The number of infections is three times higher than in the same period of the record year 2023, Barbosa said. The development is driven by global warming and the El Niño weather phenomenon.
The dengue virus is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes in the tropics and subtropics. At least 100 million people worldwide become infected every year. So far there is no medicine against the virus; only the symptoms are treated. A vaccine is only used in some countries and only works against one type of virus.
Dengue fever mainly occurs in Central and South America, South and Southeast Asia and Africa. However, due to globalization and climate change, dengue fever is increasing worldwide. Currently, 128 countries are affected.
The symptoms of the disease are similar to those of severe flu. In severe cases, internal bleeding and death can occur. Children are especially at risk
