Dengue is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease affecting humans and can be caused by any 1 of 4 dengue viruses (DENV-1 to DENV-4), transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes [1]. Currently, about 100 million clinically apparent cases are estimated to occur each year resulting in approximately 20000 deaths [2].
