Dengue threatens the health of populations around the world due to the expanding distribution of the virus and its mosquito vectors, co-circulation of serotypes, and the emergence of more complex and life threatening forms of the disease in new areas. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2009 noted that dengue is now the world’s leading arboviral disease, estimating 100 million cases of dengue fever annually, 250,000 of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), and 25,000 deaths.
