Detailed explanation-1: -The major difference between dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is that the latter is a severe form of dengue that occurs in a person with a dengue infection. DF and DHF are caused by an infected Aedes species mosquito.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dengue virus disease (dengue fever, or ‘dengue’) is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world including Africa, Asia, South America and occasionally, some parts of northern Queensland.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dengue infections are caused by four closely related viruses named DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. These four viruses are called serotypes because each has different interactions with the antibodies in human blood serum.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dengue is commonly classified in 4 different serotypes, which are: DENV 1, DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4. DENV 3, and 4 are the most occurring forms of the virus. These serotypes belong to the genus Flavivirus.
