The Different Types of Dengue Fever
There's no sylvatic wild cycle like there is for yellow fever. We don't fully understand Dengue. It doesn't seem to cause birth defects the way that something like Zika virus does, which I think is very interesting. During pregnancy, if someone is infected, especially late in the pregnancy, then the fetus can potentially get infected as well. This can have pretty bad outcomes once the baby is born and we'll talk about a little bit more later.
