The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that dengue -- and other diseases caused by mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika -- are spreading faster and further due to climate change.

The dengue virus evolved "dramatically" over the last few decades in India, according to a study led by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), which stresses the need for developing a vaccine against the strains found in the country.

A new study has found out why mosquitoes like to buzz around and bite some people more than others. Researchers discovered that infection from some viruses makes you smell tastier and attracts more mosquitoes, which increases the transmission of the disease.

More than 60 people, including 50 children have died 'dengue haemorrhagic fever' - a severe form of the dengue virus - in western Uttar Pradesh over the past 10 days, with the majority - 50, including 40 children - reported from Firozabad district.

Since mosquitoes mostly spread dengue virus while feeding on iron-deficit blood, a new study suggests consuming iron-rich food if dealing with iron deficiency, anaemia or dengue fever.

Dengue fever is quite common during the monsoon. Here are some prevention steps that can help you stay safe this season.

The female Aedes mosquitoes that spread dengue, chikungunya, and zika viruses, lay eggs in water bodies along the roadside and in decorative flower pots and vases in homes or offices.
