| Description: |
Dengue is one of the few infectious diseases increasing its global spread and the number of cases annually. There is no vaccine, nor are there drugs to treat dengue, which is spread by mosquitoes and known colloquially as "breakbone fever" for the aches it produces. Patients with severe dengue recover on their own with medical support, but complications occasionally cause death. [Source: ScienceNOW]
