Abstract：
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that continues to pose a significant public health threat globally, including Nigeria. Here, we provided a review of dengue fever outbreaks in Nigeria from 1972 to 2023, examining the epidemiology, prevention strategies, challenges faced in combating the disease, and recommendations to mitigate its spread and transmission. We utilized scholarly databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar in writing this paper. The search keywords like, \"dengue fever\", \"break-bone fever\", \"dengue fever virus\" \"outbreak\", \"Nigeria\", \"prevalence\", and \"epidemiology\", were used to get appropriate published articles about the subject areas. Over the past five decades, Nigeria has experienced intermittent outbreaks of dengue fever, with varying degrees of severity and geographic distribution. Factors such as urbanization, climate change, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure have contributed to the resurgence and spread of the disease in the country. Despite efforts to control dengue transmission through vector control measures and public health interventions, challenges persist, including limited surveillance capacity, diagnostic delays, and gaps in vector control strategies. The emergence of new dengue virus serotypes and the potential for co-circulation with other arboviruses further complicate control efforts. This review highlights the importance of strengthening surveillance systems, enhancing vector control measures, improving diagnostic capabilities, and increasing public awareness to effectively mitigate the burden of dengue fever in Nigeria. Collaboration between government agencies, healthcare providers, researchers, and international partners is crucial in addressing the growing threat of dengue fever and reducing its impact on public health in Nigeria.
摘要：
登革热是一种蚊子传播的病毒感染，继续在全球范围内对公共卫生构成重大威胁。包括尼日利亚。这里,我们提供了1972年至2023年尼日利亚登革热暴发的回顾，检查了流行病学，预防策略,抗击疾病面临的挑战，以及减轻其传播和传播的建议。在撰写本文时，我们利用了PubMed和GoogleScholar等学术数据库。搜索关键字，如，\"登革热\",“断骨热”，\"登革热病毒\"\"爆发\",\"尼日利亚\",\"患病率\",和“流行病学”，用于获得有关主题领域的适当发表文章。在过去的五十年里，尼日利亚经历了间歇性的登革热暴发,具有不同程度的严重程度和地理分布。城市化等因素，气候变化,医疗基础设施不足导致了该疾病在该国的死灰复燃和传播。尽管努力通过病媒控制措施和公共卫生干预措施控制登革热传播，挑战依然存在,包括有限的监测能力，诊断延迟，和媒介控制策略的差距。新的登革热病毒血清型的出现以及与其他虫媒病毒共同循环的潜力进一步使控制努力复杂化。这项检讨强调加强监察系统的重要性,加强病媒控制措施，提高诊断能力，提高公众意识，以有效减轻尼日利亚登革热的负担。政府机构之间的合作，医疗保健提供者，研究人员,和国际合作伙伴对于应对日益增加的登革热威胁和减少其对尼日利亚公共卫生的影响至关重要。
