Recent reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) and public health institutes indicate a dramatic increase in cases, causing alarm not only in traditionally affected countries but also in Europe. Dengue fever, caused by the Flavi virus, has seen a dramatic increase in the past two decades. From 2000 to 2019, reported cases increased from 500,000 to 5.2 million.
