Dengue NS1 Rapid Test Self-Test

In China, the description of dengue fever can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty; In the West, there have been clear cases of dengue fever since the 16th century. However, it was not until the outbreak of World War II, when dengue fever caused a large number of casualties among Japanese and Allied soldiers, that Japanese and American scientists isolated and identified the true culprit of dengue fever from patients - a pathogen named dengue virus. 
Unlike other infectious diseases, dengue fever cannot be directly transmitted from one infected person to others, but instead spreads widely through a mosquito called Aedes aegypti. After World War II, the large-scale population migration and urbanization in the Asia Pacific region provided Egypt's Aedes mosquitoes with a good living space, and they could also fly across the sea by plane, causing a regional outbreak of dengue fever. In addition to Aedes aegypti, another close relative of Aedes albopictus is also an important accomplice in spreading dengue fever.
