Dengue Cases Rise Year-Round in India Beyond Traditional Monsoon Season

Dengue, traditionally linked to the monsoon season in India, is increasingly becoming a year-round health concern. Experts attribute this shift to climate change, rising temperatures, irregular rainfall, rapid urbanisation, and poor water management, which extend mosquito breeding periods beyond rainy months. The Aedes mosquito breeds in clean stagnant water found indoors and outdoors. Health professionals emphasize early diagnosis and timely testing, noting that dengue lacks specific antiviral treatment and requires supportive care to prevent severe complications.
