3. HISTORY
The first record of a case of probable dengue fever is in a Chinese medical
encyclopedia associated with flying insects.The primary vector, A.
aegypti, spread out of Africa in the 15th to 19th centuries .the most
plausible early reports of dengue epidemics are from 1779 and 1780,
In 1906, transmission by the Aedes mosquitoes was confirmed, and in
1907 dengue was the second disease (after yellow fever) that was shown
to be caused by a virus.Further investigations by John Burton Cleland and
Joseph Franklin Siler completed the basic understanding of dengue
transmission.
The marked spread of dengue during and after the Second World War .
