Solution

Dengue Fever:

  1. Dengue fever is spread by mosquitos belonging to the Aedes Aegypti family.
  2. It does not spread from person to person.
  3. The dengue virus appears to be more active in the mornings than in the evenings.
  4. However, specific precautions should be taken to avoid contracting dengue fever. In dengue-prone areas, wearing socks and long sleeves will keep them from biting you. As a result, it is a dengue-prevention measure. We must also use a natural mosquito repellent on our bodies.
