The World Health Organization warns of a dangerous outbreak of dengue fever...

The World Health Organization has warned of a rise in dengue cases around the world. Because of global warming, which is characterized by higher average temperatures, precipitation, and longer periods of drought.

The organization indicated that high temperatures are an incentive for mosquito species, which transmit the disease, according to the official website of the United Nations, on Friday.

The organization pointed out that the rates of dengue fever are constantly increasing, indicating that the rates recorded last year are estimated at 8 times the rates of 2000.

The organization warned that about half of the world's population is at risk of contracting dengue, explaining that its impact could reach 129 countries.
Last January, the World Health Organization described dengue fever as one of the fastest-spreading tropical diseases in the world, noting that it represents an epidemic threat.

Dengue fever is a viral infection caused by “dengue” viruses, which are not transmitted directly from humans to humans, but are transmitted to them when they are exposed to the bites of mosquitoes carrying this infection.

The most prominent symptoms caused by dengue fever are muscle pain, high body temperature, nausea, headache, and loss of appetite, in addition to the appearance of a skin rash in some cases.

A person infected with dengue fever needs a week or two to recover, while some cases require medical care in hospitals, but the resulting death rates do not exceed 1%.
