چکیده
Dengue virus infection is one of the most important human arboviral infection (World Health Organization). The worldwide incidence of dengue fever (DF), dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) has increased dramatically in recent decades (Geneva (2005) WHO report). Globally, it has been estimated that atleast 2.5 billion people are at risk of Dengue, and approximately 975 million of these live in urban areas of the tropical and subtropical countries of southeast Asia (WHO & Guzman MC et al). Dengue is an acute mosquito-borne viral infection with potential fatal complications. It is transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti mosquito and also by Aedes albopictus (Lambrechts Let al and Reiter P).
