Dengue virus belongs to family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus, transmitted primarly in a cycle through human beings and mosquito vector. The rate of incidence of dengue fever epidemics has reached to the highest, since past few years. Over a geologically expanding area, the level of hyperendemic transmission has been established. The person with sequential dengue infection is also victim of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) which is the most severs disease. The rate of incidence of DHF and the possibility of sequential infections has increased intensely, first of all in Asian countries and currently in America. The wide spreading of mosquito Aedes aegypti is even more alarming. As a consequence of insufficiency of antiviral drugs and potential vaccine, a large number of individuals are infected with severe dengue virus every year which causes huge death cases. Conclusion: Effective vector control measures are the only weapon against dengue these days, however effective potential drugs and vaccine are expected in future.
