History on how dengue started
spreading and how did dengue
spread around the world
In the aftermath of World War II, rapid urbanization in Southeast
Asia led to increased transmission and became more common. The
first major epidemics of the severe and fatal form of disease, dengue
hemorrhagic fever, occurred in Southeast Asia as a direct result of
this changing ecology.
How did dengue spread around the world
•
Dengue viruses are usually spread to people through the bites of
infected mosquitoes.

A person infected with dengue during pregnancy can pass the
virus to their fetus.

Rarely, dengue can be spread through other routes.
