“…It is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, with a 30-fold increase in global incidence over the past five decades (World Health Organization, 2012). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the incidence of dengue virus (DENV) infection is about 50 million to 100 million cases per year (WHO, 2009), with more than 100 endemic countries and a documented further spread to previously unaffected areas (Mood and Mardani, 2017). In the Americas alone, the last report in 2015 mentioned 2.35 million DENV infections, of which 10 200 cases were considered as severe dengue, with 1181 deaths (World Health Organization, 2018).…”

Background: Huánuco is a central eastern region of Peru whose geography includes high forest and low jungle, as well as a mountain range that constitutes the inter-Andean valleys. It is considered a region endemic for dengue due to the many favorable conditions that facilitate transmission of the virus. Methods: A total of 268 serum samples from patients in Huánuco, Peru with an acute febrile illness were assessed for the presence of dengue virus (DENV) via RT-PCR and NS1, IgM, and IgG ELISA during December 2015 and March 2016. Results: DENV was detected in 25% of samples via RT-PCR, 19% of samples by NS1 antigen ELISA, and 10.5% of samples by IgM ELISA. DENV IgG was detected in 15.7% of samples by ELISA. The most frequent symptoms associated with fever across all groups were headache, myalgia, and arthralgia, with no significant difference between the four test methods Conclusions: In this study, DENV was identified in up to 25% of the samples using the standard laboratory method. In addition, a correlation was established between the frequency of positive results and the serological tests that determine NS1, IgM, and IgG. There is an increasing need for point-of-care tests to strengthen epidemiological surveillance in Peru.

“…The transmission of DENV is maintained through a humanmosquito-human cycle that involves mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, principally Aedes aegypti (Mood and Mardani, 2017;Omokoko et al, 2014). There are four antigenically related but distinct dengue viruses, described as serotypes DENV-1, 2, 3, and 4.…”

“…Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a global public health problem [1,2]. DHF is one of arbovirus diseases (diseases transmitted by vector of arthropoda type) which is dangerous enough, with untypical symptoms such as influenza, so that it is much neglected and presents typical symptoms after being in severe conditions [1]. Dengue hemorrhagic fever was first reported at the time of two outbreaks in the Philippines and Thailand in 1943.…”

Climate change has caused various social impacts such as changing of ecosystem and increasing tropical diseases i.e Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). The tropical area which has high humidity has more potential to breed aedes agypti rather than other areas. The pattern of DHF in the District of Banggai had fluctuated since 2010 and in 2016 it has gradually increased by 15 out of 100,000 populations. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between climate change and the incidence of DHF in the District of Banggai. The methods used by this research was ecological studies with a time series approach. Data were obtained from the Health Service and the Statistics Agency in District of Banggai from 2010 to 2015 comprised several variables: the number of DHF incidence, the average of rainfall (mm), level of humidity (%), the average of temperature (o C), and sunlights (%). Pearson correlation test (r) is provided to analyze the data. The results show that the humidity of DHF cases, rain intensity one month before and the increasing of both temperature and sunlight in the previous three months get significant values (ρ<0,05). It relates to Butterworth (2016) and Ebi et al (2016) who stated the increasing number of vector and dengue virus is affected to the climate change. In addition, the higher temperature, the more spreaded Aedes aegypti counts. As a result, the government should improve the capacity of surveillance to optimize the treatment and prompt responses used for preventing DHF epidemics.

Worldwide, the dengue virus (DENV) is a common cause of infections. The disease can range from a minor flu-like illness to a serious complex ailment that kills the sufferer. Both the morbidity and fatality rates associated with dengue fever (DF) are high in Pakistan and other Asian nations. Through a mosquito bite, the DENV is spread. DENV was isolated to specific regions of the tropics and subtropics until the middle of the 20th century. Global distribution of DF is influenced by a number of variables, including changing climate, rising international travel and urban population, poor vector management techniques, lack of safe and effective antiviral medications and a lack of vaccines to prevent the disease. In over 100 nations, DF poses a major threat to the lives of over 2.5 billion people. Today, DF is endemic to the Caribbean, South America, Africa and Asia. In actuality, 40% of the world’s population currently resides in nations where there is a significant risk of DF transmission. It has grown to be a significant health issue in Pakistan and is predicted to get worse over the next few years. In Pakistan, dengue cases increase in the rainfall season, especially during monsoon season. In Pakistan, the mosquito species Aedes aegypti is the main carrier of this disease. This review article summarizes the epidemiology, clinical aspects of DF and DHF, diagnosis, prevention and management of disease in Pakistan.
