    Dengue fever is caused by a virus transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. Symptoms include high fever, headaches, joint and muscle pains, and rashes. Dengue is one of the most common mosquito-borne diseases worldwide and can be fatal. The Aedes mosquito breeds in clean, stagnant water and bites during the day. To prevent dengue, individuals should eliminate breeding sites by cleaning containers and disposing of trash, and use repellents and nets when outdoors. Communities should work together to spread prevention messages and check for stagnant water when neighbors are away.
