Fever is a response of human body due to an increase the temperature against the certain stimuli. It may be associated with several reasons and one of the major causes of fever is mosquito bite. Fever due to dengue virus (DENV) infection is being paid most attention out of several other fevers because of a large number of deaths reported worldwide. Dengue virus is transmitted by biting of the mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and DENV4 are the four serotypes of dengue virus and these serotypes have 65% similarities in their genomic structure. Genome of DENV is composed of single stranded RNA and it encodes for the polyprotein. Structural and non-structural proteins (nsP) are the two major part of protese. Researchers have paid high attention on the non-structural protease (nsP) of DENV like nsP1, nsP2A, nsP2B, nsP3, nsP4A, nsP4B and nsP5. The NS2B-NS3 protease of DENV is the prime target of the researchers as it is responsible for the catalytic activity. In the present time, Dengvaxia (vaccine) is being recommended to the patients suffering severely due to DENV infection in few countries only. Till date, neither a vaccine nor an effective medicine is available to combat with all four serotypes. This review describes the fever, its causes and studies to cure the infection due to DENV using theoretical and experimental approaches.
