Towards a Dengue-free Future: Advances in Vaccines, Mosquito Control and Research

Abstract

Mashooma Sayed Qureshi*

Dengue poses a significant global health threat, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Over time, scientists and innovators have been actively engaged in addressing various aspects of dengue prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The development of an effective dengue vaccine has been a primary focus of research efforts. Multiple vaccine candidates have been under development, targeting immunity against all four serotypes of the dengue virus. Innovations in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito, responsible for transmitting dengue, have included the utilization of genetically modified mosquitoes, novel insecticides, and community-driven approaches aimed at reducing mosquito breeding sites.
