Dengue is a vector-borne disease that is a major public health threat globally. It is caused by the dengue virus (DENV, 1–4 serotypes), which is one of the most important arboviruses in tropical and subtropical regions.Epidemics of dengue in India have become more frequent, especially in urban zones, and have quickly spread to new regions, such as Orissa, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram, where dengue was historically non-existent. Indian pharmaceutical companies are developing an indigenous dengue vaccine candidate that protects against all four strains in clinical manifestations.
