How Can Someone Get Dengue Fever?
Dengue fever occurs following the bite of an infected mosquito Aedes aegypti.This type of mosquito has a peculiar white spotted body and legs and is easy to recognize even by laymen. It breeds in clean water (see Question 20) and has a flight range of only 100 - 200 metres. The mosquito gets the Dengue virus after biting a human being infected with dengue virus.
