Dengue can be a mosquito-borne viral disease, present in tropical and sub-tropical environments globally, mostly in city and semi-metropolitan places. The infection in charge of leading to dengue, is named dengue malware (DENV). There are several DENV serotypes, meaning that it must be possible to be affected 4 times.
