The increase in dengue cases is attributed to global travel and climate change. As per a World Health Organization (WHO) report, dengue fever is presently endemic in 128 countries, with approximately 3.6 billion individuals residing in regions susceptible to disease transmission. This results in an estimated 390 million cases occurring annually, with around 96 million cases displaying varying degrees of clinical symptoms1 .
