Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Although human-to-human transmission hasn&#8217;t been established, the virus is prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical climates, primarily in urban and semi-urban regions worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>While most individuals experience mild or no symptoms and recover within one to two weeks, severe cases of dengue can occur, albeit rarely, leading to fatalities. Symptoms typically manifest four to 10 days after infection and persist for two to seven days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NCDC-led multisectoral National Emerging Viral Haemorrhagic Diseases Technical Working Group collaborating with partners and relevant stakeholders, has conducted a rapid risk assessment to guide in-country preparedness activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NEVHD TWG coordinates preparedness efforts for Ebola virus disease and other emerging viral haemorrhagic fever diseases,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n<p>It said the current risk level of the dengue outbreak is moderate based on a dynamic risk assessment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is currently adequate in-country capacity (including technical, health workforce, and diagnostic) to respond effectively in the event of a large-scale outbreak. Nigeria has also responded to viral haemorrhagic fever epidemics like the Ebola Outbreak in 2014 and subsequently Lassa fever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has built our preparedness and response capabilities for viral haemorrhagic fevers like the dengue virus over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, there is a diagnostics capacity for the dengue virus at the NCDC National Reference Laboratory in Abuja and the Usman Dan Fodio University Sokoto Teaching Hospital Laboratory Centre for Human and Zoonotic Virology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the NCDC will proceed to optimise existing Lassa fever testing laboratories and others within the NCDC national laboratory network for DENV diagnosis to improve preparedness and readiness in the event of a large-scale outbreak,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>It added that an effective response system is in place with the availability of control capacities to limit the risk of spread to other states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The statement, signed by NCDC Director General Ifedayo Adetifa, has reported 71 suspected cases, 13 confirmed cases The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has officially confirmed an outbreak of dengue fever in Sokoto State.
