World Dengue Day: Article Collection
Saturday 15 June is World Dengue Day. Dengue is a viral infection transmitted from mosquitoes to humans that infects an estimated 400 million people each year. As there is no specific treatment for dengue, early detection and access to proper medical care greatly lowers the fatality rate of the disease. Raising awareness of the disease is critical in preventing dengue and reducing the global burden.
This year to celebrate, we have compiled an article collection from our journals, Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (TRSTMH) and International health.
