Dengue (break-bone fever) is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by dengue virus (DENV) and is common in tropical and subtropical regions with an average 100-400 million infection every year. Hepatitis A is an inflammation of the liver caused by Hepatitis A virus and is associated with contaminated food and water, poor sanitation and personal hygiene.
