The World Health Organization (WHO) was already highlighting the increasing numbers of dengue worldwide in 2024.

And other health organizations are warning about the rising risk of the disease, such as the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. They note that over 1.4 million dengue cases and more than 400 dengue-related deaths have been confirmed in 53 countries around of the world as of March 2025.

Ein Forscherteam hat mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz die #Proteinstrukturen der #Flaviviridae-#Virenfamilie untersucht, zu der u.a. #HepatitisC, #Zika und #Dengue gehören. Dadurch wurden neue Glykoproteine entdeckt, die entscheidend für das Eindringen der #Viren in #Wirtszellen sind. Besonders bei Hepatitis C wurden neue #Eintrittsmechanismen entschlüsselt, was die Entwicklung von #Impfstoffe​n erleichtern könnte.

Eine in Europa eher unbeachtete Epidemie ist #Dengue (z.B. in #Brasilien).

In der Stadt São José dos Campos werden jetzt Cremes gegen Mücken an Ältere verteilt, um wenigstens gefährdete Personen darüber etwas zu schützen.

G1Com uma morte e quase 600 casos de dengue, Prefeitura de São José inicia distribuição de repelentes para idososNo momento, a distribuição está sendo feita em apenas nove unidades de saúde, que são de bairros mais críticos, onde houve mais registros de casos de dengue em 2025. A prefeitura informou que, entre março e abril, vai ampliar a distribuição para outros públicos.

"Dengue cases in #Singapore have been on the rise since the 1990s, with the largest recorded outbreaks occurring in 2020 and 2022

Aside from creating more viable habitats for mosquitoes to breed, climate change also speeds up the physical maturation of the #mosquito, while also enabling the virus to develop faster within it, said Dr Fornace. "

The tiger mosquito "Aedes aegypti" can spread deadly infections, such as #dengue, that represent a major #PublicHealth threat.

In his newly published PhD thesis, Steffen Knoblauch developed geospatial big data methods to predict mosquito distribution and interactions with humans. This work offers new possibilities to enhance disease control and reduce public health costs.

#ClimateChange is bringing #Dengue to the US

Severe dengue can be fatal; seek emergency treatment if you have dengue and develop belly pain or tenderness, repeated vomiting, bleeding from nose/gums, tiredness /restlessness, bleeding in vomit or stool. (CDC)

Cases of #dengue #fever have been surging globally as warmer weather brought on by climate change enables mosquitoes to expand their reach.

The Pan American Health Organization said #deaths from dengue are also rising.

More than 7,700 deaths have been reported in the Caribbean and the Americas so far in 2024,
a more than 200% increase,
compared to 2,467 deaths in 2023, according to the organization.

The number of cases in the region,
which includes the United States,
is the highest reported since record keeping began in 1980,
PAHO director Jarbas Barbosa said at a news conference.

“This is linked directly to climatic events,” he said, referencing warmer temperatures, droughts and flooding.

A fast population growth, unplanned urbanization and poor sanitation have contributed to the rise in dengue.

The virus has surged worldwide since last year and spread to areas previously free of dengue, according to PAHO.
