Dengue Fever Cases Surge as Tiger Mosquitoes Spread

Climate change and increased travel contribute to the rise of dengue fever in Europe and other regions.

Tiger mosquitoes, known for their aggressive nature, are expanding into cooler climates, spreading dengue fever.
In 2023, Europe saw a significant increase in locally acquired dengue cases, with numbers doubling from the previous year.
Experts emphasize the importance of vector control measures and personal protection to mitigate the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.
The U.S. has recorded nearly 2,000 dengue cases this year, mostly from travelers infected abroad.
Dengue symptoms range from mild to severe, including high fever, severe headaches, joint pain, and a rash.
