Dengue is a significant global health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Over the years, researchers and innovators have been actively working on various aspects of dengue prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Developing an effective dengue vaccine has been a major focus of research. Several vaccine candidates have been in different stages of development, aiming to provide immunity against all four dengue virus serotypes. Innovations in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits dengue, have included the use of genetically modified mosquitoes, novel insecticides, and community-based approaches to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
