How do Dengue disease spread and what precousnary measures needs to be taken to protect it?

Dengue disease is primarily spread through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. These mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, making areas with poor drainage or standing water common hotspots for transmission. To protect against dengue, individuals should use mosquito repellents, wear long-sleeved clothing, and ensure that there are no breeding sites by regularly emptying containers that hold water. Additionally, installing screens on Windows and doors can help prevent mosquito entry into homes.
