That means a 50% jump in the number of deaths, despite a 40% decline in cases from 2019. The significantly increased case fatality rate could be down to the discovery of a new strain of the virus previously never spotted in Bangladesh, that DGHS scientists reported back in August.
Generally it is seen that severe dengue disease is most common in those who suffer a second infection, usually by a different strain to the first. The chances of that naturally increase with the introduction of a new strain in the environment. There are four known strains of the dengue virus.
