Dengue is well known and most common disease. It is transmitted by mosquito-virus. As this is caused by viruses living inside the arthropods and spread through them, it is called arboviral disease. It possesses a significant global health concern worldwide. Dengue is known to us with various names such as 7-day fever or breakbone. Several symptoms are fever with high intensity, pain in muscles and joint, head pain near or behind the eyes, vomiting, skin rashes, and when it grows to severity then symptoms are abdominal pain, rapid breathing, fatigue, blood in stool, thirst, change in skin condition, and weakness (Fig.1(A)). Dengue records for approx or over 100 million cases annually, and 20 to 25 thousand mortalities globally. The mosquitoes that carry dengue viruses are Aedes (female only)—Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Fig.1(B)). These viruses are commonly known as dengue virus (DNV) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF)[1-3].
