The annual recurrence of dengue in Bangladesh: A persistent threat

Abstract

This letter explores the annual recurrence of dengue infections in Bangladesh, a persistent threat to public health and well-being. We examine the cyclical nature of dengue infection across different regions, focusing on densely populated cities such as Dhaka and Chittagong. We also highlighted the challenges during the dengue epidemic by describing potential strategies for combating the spread, highlighting the severe health impacts on public health in high-prevalence areas such as Chittagong, Khulna, and Barisal. Recognizing dengue’s wide-reaching impact on health and daily life, we brainstorm the possible long and short-term solutions to prevent perpetuated future outbreaks.
