Even after being a relatively dry and humid state, Rajasthan has become favourable for mosquito-borne diseases including dengue, chikungunya, and malaria.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is linked to the secondary dengue infection, which implies that the person is infected with another serotype of dengue virus than before resulting in a more severe form of dengue virus.
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne, viral disease that is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.
