Dengue

Soldier-researchers collect mosquito larvae to track vectors of dengue and other diseases. Dengue, a disease caused by a virus and transmitted by mosquitoes, is a threat to soldiers deployed to tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is periodically reintroduced into the United States. Candidate dengue vaccines are produced and tested at WRAIR, which has considerable expertise in this area.

Dengue fever has been a significant threat in recent deployments to Haiti, Somalia, and other tropical areas of the world. The yellow band represents areas of potential dengue transmission.
