Dengue fever, a major infectious disease caused by arboviruses, has become a significant public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The disease is caused by the Dengue virus (DENV), which comprises four primary serotypes (DENV1-4) and a recently identified fifth serotype (DENV-5). The rapid spread of dengue is attributed to various factors including rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, climate change, and increased travel, which have led to the virus's dissemination to new areas and among vulnerable human populations. This review article provides a comprehensive examination of the current status of DENV, including its genomic structure, pathogenesis mechanisms, life cycle, and methods for disease detection and control. The review emphasizes the importance of epidemiological monitoring in at-risk areas, particularly in countries like Iran where dengue is not yet widely prevalent. The analysis underscores the need for advancements in diagnostic technologies, the development of effective vaccines, and improved strategies for mosquito vector control. Furthermore, international collaboration and the use of novel technologies are essential for achieving the goal of dengue eradication by 2030. This article highlights the necessity of coordinated and comprehensive efforts to address this disease and mitigate its impact on public health and the global economy.
