A Surprise Visit to My Old Village House
It was a warm spring afternoon when I decided, on a whim, to visit my ancestral village. I hadn’t returned in over two decades. Life had kept me busy with jobs, cities, and forgettable routines. But that morning, an old photo fell from a forgotten book—my mother standing at the front door of our village home, smiling in the sun. Something about it stirred me. An ache. A calling.

Dengue: The Fastest Growing Mosquito-Borne Disease in the World. AI-Generated.
In a world already facing multiple health crises, one silent killer continues to surge across borders, fueled by climate change, urbanization, and global travel. Dengue — once confined to a few tropical and subtropical regions — has now become the fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease on Earth. Its rapid spread and increasing severity pose a serious threat to global public health. What is Dengue? Dengue is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus (DENV), which belongs to the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a species notorious for its ability to adapt to urban environments. There are four known serotypes of the virus — DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. Infection with one serotype usually provides lifelong immunity to that specific type but not to the others. If a person is infected with a different serotype later, it significantly increases the risk of developing severe dengue, which can be fatal. Global Spread: From Local Outbreaks to Worldwide Epidemics The global burden of dengue has increased dramatically in recent decades. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 390 million dengue infections occur each year, with nearly 100 million people developing clinical symptoms. Dengue is now endemic in over 100 countries, with Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Latin America bearing the highest burden. In recent years, dengue has also appeared in places where it was previously unknown — including parts of Europe and North America, fueled by rising temperatures and changing ecosystems. Symptoms: More Than Just a Fever Dengue is often called “breakbone fever” due to the intense muscle and joint pain it causes. The symptoms typically appear 4–10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito and may include: Sudden high fever (up to 104°F or 40°C) Severe headache Pain behind the eyes Joint and muscle pain Skin rash (appears a few days after fever starts) Nausea and vomiting Fatigue and weakness Mild bleeding (nose, gums, or easy bruising) While many cases resolve within a week, some can progress to severe dengue, formerly known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. This life-threatening form includes: Severe bleeding Organ damage Plasma leakage leading to shock Difficulty breathing Sudden drop in blood pressure (dengue shock syndrome) Children, the elderly, and those with previous dengue infections are at higher risk of developing complications. Why Is Dengue Spreading So Rapidly? Several global trends have contributed to the explosive growth of dengue:
