Dengue Outbreak in Martin County, Florida in 2013

چکیده

Dengue virus (DENV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Greater than 100 million cases of dengue fever occur annually and over 2 billion people live in areas at risk for dengue transmission. There are four phylogenetically and serologically distinct DENV, which are capable of human-to-mosquito-to-human transmission [1,2]. Primary DENV infection is often subclinical or causing mild to moderate symptoms including; fever, headache, muscle and joint pain. Secondary, heterotypic DENV infection can result in more severe disease, termed dengue hemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal without medical intervention.
