Overview

• Official surveillance in Mexico has recorded 6,923 dengue cases by late August 2025, with Jalisco reporting the highest rate at 13.59 per 100,000 inhabitants.
• Santa Fe authorities reported that the 'Objetivo Dengue' campaign reduced local dengue presence nearly 100% in a year, with almost 120,000 vaccine doses administered by April.
• Public guidance emphasizes eliminating mosquito breeding sites in and around homes because Aedes aegypti lays eggs in small containers of clean, standing water that can persist for long periods.
• There is no specific antiviral treatment for dengue, so officials urge early medical evaluation, hydration and rest, and the use of paracetamol while avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen due to bleeding risk.
• Common symptoms include high fever, severe muscle and joint pain, headache, rash and fatigue, and warning signs requiring urgent care include persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, bleeding or rapid breathing.
