Epidemiological Patterns of Dengue Fever: A Review

Abstract

Dengue fever is a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, especially prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The incidence and geographic distribution of dengue fever have dramatically increased over the past few decades due to factors like climate change, urbanization, and global travel. This review examines the current epidemiological patterns of dengue, its global distribution, trends in incidence, seasonality, risk factors, and the challenges faced in controlling outbreaks. Recent advances in surveillance, vector control, and vaccine development are also discussed.
