In recent decades, dengue has expanded in several countries around the world thanks to two components for which humans are responsible: climate change and the abundant production of plastics.
Its appearance was limited to tropical and intertropical climates but in more than ten years it burst into subtropical and temperate regions. The viral infection is already endemic in more than 100 countries in the regions of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Africa, America, Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific.
