What are the causes and effects of dengue?
The cause of dengue is being bitten by a mosquito which has taken a blood meal from an infected carrier, usually human. Much the same as Malaria, which is only transmitted from human to human by the mosquito. West Nile Virus, EEE and other "flu like symptom" illnesses can be transmitter by mosquito from a human, bird, horse etc. The problem with Dengue is if you get it the second time it can be deadly. Check out CDC: See Related Links Click on Florida to see how bad it really is. What we need is a non-toxic pesticide that also keeps repelling mosquitoes for more than a few hours.
When was the zika virus found?

The person infected with Zika virus may suffer from fever, joint pain, rashes, and headache. You can prevent yourself from getting infected with Zika virus by following some easy steps.
Why there is fever if the patient has Dengue?
Fever is one of the hallmark symptoms of dengue fever, a viral infection caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. There are several reasons why fever occurs in dengue patients: Viral Replication: Dengue virus replicates inside the human body after being transmitted through a mosquito bite. As the virus multiplies, it triggers an immune response. Fever is a common immune response to viral infections. When the body detects the presence of the virus, it raises its internal temperature as a defense mechanism to help fight off the infection. Cytokine Release: Dengue fever can lead to a phenomenon known as a cytokine storm. This is an excessive immune response characterized by the release of a large number of cytokines (small proteins) that play a key role in inflammation. The excessive release of cytokines can lead to a fever and other symptoms like joint pain and muscle aches. Vascular Permeability: In severe cases of dengue, the virus can affect the permeability of blood vessels, causing leakage of plasma from the blood vessels into surrounding tissues. This can lead to a drop in blood pressure and shock, a condition known as dengue shock syndrome. Fever is one of the early signs of this syndrome. Immune Response: As the immune system continues to respond to the virus, it produces antibodies to fight the infection. This immune response can also contribute to the fever and other symptoms. It's important to note that not all cases of dengue fever are severe, and not everyone with dengue will experience the same symptoms. Some individuals may have mild cases with relatively low-grade fevers, while others may develop more severe forms of the disease with high fevers and potentially life-threatening complications. If someone suspects they have dengue fever, it's important to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and management, especially in areas where dengue is endemic. Dengue can be a serious illness, and early detection and medical care can significantly improve outcomes.
Is the nile river valley in the same location of the nile river?
The River Nile flows through the Nile Valley.
Can Dengue kill you?
The answer, unfortunately, is possible. There are four types of dengue virus. If a person is infected by any one of those four types, though it is not entirely impossible to die from it, it very rarely happens. It can even act like a vaccine, providing some immunity from the same type of virus to the infected person. However, if the same person (already infected by one of the four types some times before) gets infected from a different type, - any other of the remaining three, -dengue fever could develop into a more severe form, - earlier known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, presently called as Severe Dengue Fever. That severe form could be fatal. There is neither vaccination nor specific treatment against either Dengue Fever or its more dangerous form, the Severe Dengue Fever. However, prompt medical care could often save life even in the case of the severe form. Since Severe Dengue Fever patients are loosing serious amounts of body fluids, - including blood -, the most vital treatment is keeping the fluid level to optimal, thus diminishing the complications which could have lead to death.

Can dengue fever kill you?
Yes, in a small number of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.yes infact it may cause death
