One pesky mosquito is all that it takes to push you into a battle with death. Dengue is one deadly virus that has claimed millions of lives. And continues to do so.
There’s intense lab work going on around the world to make people immune to the virus. Until the time comes, people need to take up the responsibility and protect themselves against the virus.
In this article, we shall discuss dengue and how to prevent it.
What’s dengue?
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease. (Annelies Wilder-Smith, 2012) It has four types and is spread by Aedes mosquitoes. Truth be told, there’s no direct cure for the virus. There are medicines available to help the body cure the symptoms and strengthen it enough so that the virus is dealt with without causing a casualty.
It affects millions of people around the globe and takes away thousands of lives. With proper identification of the symptoms, the disease can be managed. But there are some simple ways that you can implement to prevent catching the virus.
First, let’s look at the symptoms that you shall be mindful of when identifying dengue:
Symptoms
The routine symptoms for dengue patients include:
- Headache
- Eye pain (typically behind the eyes)
- Muscle, joint, or bone pain
- Rash
- Nausea and vomiting
If timely attention isn’t paid, then the problem can aggravate, and symptoms can intensify. Severe cases can display the following symptoms:
- Extreme pain in the stomach. This may even result in severe tiredness.
- Vomiting; mild to severe.
- The nose may start bleeding.
- Blood coming out in vomit or stool.
- Feelings of unsettlement, tiredness, or jumpiness.
If you notice these signs in anyone, divert them to medical attention immediately. If you experience the symptoms yourself, then you must visit the ER without failure.
With all that said, let’s now move to the clinical preventative measures that you can implement to avoid dengue fever.
Preventive measures
Dengue is a preventable disease. Unlike the recent Covid-19 virus, it doesn’t spread amongst the human species. Simply put, a dengue patient cannot pass on the disease to someone else.
This makes the disease a controlled one. With pristine personal responsibility, you can easily keep the disease out of your way. Here are a few things that’ll help:
- Use an insect repellent
Kill the mosquito, kill the virus. Make sure that you regularly use insect repellent to make sure you aren’t at risk of catching the virus. When you go to the store, ensure that you get something that’s specifically made to kill mosquitoes.
A general insect repellent may satisfactorily do the trick as well.
- Wear the right clothes
Exposing your skin can invite the mosquitoes to pass on the disease to you. By simply hiding the skin with ample clothing, you can reduce the chances of catching the virus. Make full-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks.
- Protect yourself with the net
Netting the house sufficiently can keep the mosquitoes away. Mosquito nets are made up of tiny holes that make the place breathable but not permeable enough for the culprit to enter.
- Don’t leave the water stagnant
Dengue mosquitoes thrive on standing water. If you have such places where water stays for more than 3 to 4 days, then address that. Usually, you need to empty such places routinely.
- Avoid dark places
Mosquitoes love to live in the dark. Especially in the garden and forest settings. Make sure you aren't outdoors where dengue mosquitoes exist. If you absolutely have to be there, then apply mosquito repellent creams without failure.
Final Words
Dengue virus usually gets managed and cured over a period of 10 to 14 days. However, cases that become severe accelerate to the levels of taking life.
It is always better to take the right measures and keep the virus out of your way.

Dengue Vaccines Market: IntroductionAccording to the report, the global dengue vaccines market was valued at US$ 0.4 Bn in 2020 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 11% from 2021 to 2031.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by dengue virus.
These include high fever, vomiting, headache, muscle & joint pain, and a characteristic skin rash.
The World Health Organization recommends that the vaccine should only be given to persons with confirmed prior history of dengue virus infection.
The vaccine manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, announced in 2017 that people who receive the vaccine and have not previously infected by the virus could be at risk of developing severe dengue, if they are infected after being vaccinated.Request Brochure – https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=B_id=28397Disrupted sanitation services and curtailed water supply lead to conditions that assist mosquito breeding and proliferation, while warm temperatures lead to longer active season for mosquitos.
The region offers significant opportunities in the dengue vaccines market.Increase in Incidence of Dengue to Drive Dengue Vaccines MarketThe number of cases of dengue has increased over the past few years.
Growth of the global dengue vaccine market is mainly driven by rising burden of dengue fever in tropical regions, large unmet medical need for managing dengue burden, promising end stage vaccine pipeline, development of live attenuated tetravalent dengue vaccine and expected local production of dengue vaccine in various countries are expected drive the market over forecasted period.Other prominent factors driving growth of the market are adoption/uptakeof dengue vaccine by various countries in dengue endemic regions of Latin America and Asia Pacific and increased governments interest to incorporate the vaccine in public immunization programmes in various countriesHowever, supply side infrastructure bottle necks such as surveillance system, standardized diagnostics practice, and cold chain systems for storage of vaccine in resource constrained countriesare the factors suggestive of barrier to growth of global Dengue Vaccinemarket.Players in thedengue vaccine development and in market are employing strategies to incorporate dengue vaccine in public immunization programs and vaccines in clinical stage development are being tested for safety and efficacy in all age groups and different transmission settings.
