According to Ayurveda, Dengue fever is an influenza-like disease spread by female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It is otherwise called dandaka jwara in Ayurveda. It is most normal in subtropical, heat, and humidity zones. 

Dengue can be asymptomatic, meaning you might not be aware of it even if you're affected by Dengue. But, at the same time, there can be severe flu-like symptoms in those infected by this virus.

There is no particular medicine for Dengue fever. The illness is treated by dispensing with and dealing with symptoms. Luckily, an assortment of ayurvedic cures like Carica papaya L., Cissampelos pareira L... So on, that can assist with handling something similar by strengthening the immune system and controlling hyperthermia.

However, cross-immunity works partially, not with every disease caused by serotype.
