Dengue Epidemiological Outlook for 2025, and What to Expect in 2026

As we enter 2026, concerns about a potential new wave of dengue outbreaks are mounting worldwide. The data from 2025 serves as a stark warning: turning the calendar does not end the dengue threat, which continues to demand constant global vigilance.

In 2025, more than 4 million cases were reported across 101 countries, according to the World Health Organization. With 3.6 billion people living in at-risk areas, dengue remains one of the fastest-growing mosquito-borne diseases globally. WHO considers any incidence above 300 cases per 100,000 inhabitants an epidemic, a threshold surpassed in multiple regions, underscoring the persistent circulation of the virus throughout the year.

Case trends showed rapid surges early in the year, peaks during the hottest months, and gradual declines without eliminating risk. Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa recorded the highest incidence rates, driven by urbanization, climate variability, and structural challenges. The majority of cases occur among young adults and individuals in their productive years (20–49), while severe dengue continues to show higher fatality rates among older populations.

Recognizing this scenario, Aedes Mosquito Killers is advancing innovative strategies to address the global public health challenge posed by arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti. Our goal is to expand the impact of biodegradable traps and contribute more effectively to mosquito control—always with a focus on innovation and sustainability.

As we move into 2026, the message is clear: combating dengue requires continuity, collaboration, and new technologies. More than reacting to numbers, we must anticipate scenarios and strengthen prevention, building smarter and more efficient responses for both the present and the future.
