Mokaya J., Warimwe GM.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease whose burden continues to increase globally causing an estimated 20,000 deaths each year (WHO 2021; Zeng et al. 2021). The total number of dengue infections has increased from 23 million in the 1990s to an estimated 100 million in 2017 across more than 110 countries in the WHO regions of Africa, the Americas and Asia; with Asia representing about 70% of the global burden of disease (WHO 2017, 2021; Zeng et al. 2021).
