Dengue Fever: A Harbinger of Hemorrhagic Fever Pandemics in a Changing World?
Authors: Matteo Maria Cati.
Abstract
Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral illness, exhibits concerning parallels with hemorrhagic fever pandemics. This paper explores the rise of dengue in the context of climate change, urbanization, and evolving mosquito populations. We argue that these factors potentially position dengue as a stepping-stone towards more widespread hemorrhagic fever outbreaks. By analyzing limitations of current control methods, the paper proposes strategies for improved preparedness against not only dengue but also a potential hemorrhagic fever pandemic, highlighting the devastating economic and social consequences.
