<s>[INST] How do people get dengue? [/INST] Dengue virus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Aedes mosquitoes. Mosquitoes generally acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. After virus incubation for 8-10 days, an infected mosquito is capable, while feeding, of transmitting the virus to humans for the rest of the mosquito's life.

Immunity to one of the four types of viruses does not protect a person from infection by another type. Source: TEXAS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. Link: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/mosquito-borne-diseases/dengue/dengue-faqs. Field: Infectious Disease. Disease: Dengue </s>
