New Delhi, May 15 -- Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the dengue virus, affects millions of people across the globe. Approximately 100 to 400 million infections occur every year, and about half of the world's population is now at risk, according to the World Health Organization. Stagnant water can attract the infected female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which can easily transmit the virus to you and your family members.
