HAVANA, March 23 (NNN-ACN) — Cuba will sooner than later have its own vaccine against Dengue Fever, said president Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of Cuba’s Communist Party.
On his Twitter account, the head of state shared information about a candidate vaccine developed by the Havana-based Genetic Engineering and Biotech Center.
Dengue Fever is an infectious disease caused by a virus and transmitted by mosquitos, particularly the Aedes aegypti.
The disease develops varied symptoms and can evolve to a potentially deadly stage called hemorrhagic Dengue. — NNN-ACN
