  • Italy: Dengue (78)
    Researcher Paola Serini at work in one of the laboratories of the Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases at Sapienza University in Rome, Italy. Dengue is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus, transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. About half of the world's population is now at risk of dengue with an estimated 100–400 million infections occurring every year. Dengue is found in tropical and subtropical climates worldwide, but has in recent decades been spreading into temperate zones. Rising temperatures across the WHO European Region, combined with rain and increased humidity, have caused an increase in cases where conditions have become more favourable for dengue’s mosquito vectors, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. This is compounded by recent outbreaks in Latin America and Southeast Asia which have increased the likelihood of imported cases in the Region.  Researcher Paola Serini at work in one of the laboratories of the Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases at Sapienza University in Rome, Italy.
