Abstract
WHO emphasizes the critical need for strengthened surveillance, timely reporting, and effective control measures to manage this unprecedented spike in cases (1). Dengue is now endemic in over 90 countries, with almost half of the world's population, around 4 billion people, at risk. This increase is driven by factors such as climate change, which has expanded the habitats of the mosquitoes that transmit the virus, and increased global travel, which has facilitated the spread of dengue to new regions, including parts of Europe and the continental United States.
