Dengue Risk Persists Beyond Monsoon in India, Study Finds
India · Published Oct 22, 2026
• A study published in BMJ Public Health analysed 774 dengue outbreaks in India between 2021 and 2025, revealing significant regional and seasonal variations in transmission patterns.
• The research, based on data from the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme, recorded 35,202 cases during this period.

Impact & Risks

Dengue poses a significant public health risk across India, with varying outbreak patterns depending on the region and season. The study underscores the importance of localised mosquito control and public health measures. Without timely interventions, communities may face increased cases of severe dengue, which can lead to hospitalisation and, in some cases, fatalities. The persistence of outbreaks beyond the monsoon season necessitates year-round vigilance to mitigate risks.
