The most important
mosquito-borne viral disease
in the world…

40% of the world’s population is at risk

Dengue is the fastest-growing mosquito-borne viral infection, and its impact today is 30 times greater than 50 years ago. While most reported cases are in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific, dengue is also present in many African countries. And it is spreading to Europe, as well as in the USA, and China.

Dengue symptoms and impact

Dengue is
present in over 150 countries
An estimated 390M people are infected
every year
In the Americas, every 25 min, a life is
lost to dengue

Working together is vital to break dengue

Perhaps you are a healthcare professional who has worked with dengue patients or you have experienced dengue first hand. You might be a scientist leading a clinical trial or an entomologist investigating how climate change alters where dengue-carrying mosquitoes live. Or you could be from an NGO working to raise awareness in dengue-affected communities… By bringing together best practice, experience, innovative technologies and new ideas, we can have a bigger impact on controlling the disease.
