Dengue is a mosquito borne viral disease (Priyadarshini et al., 2016). It belongs to the family of Flavivirus. It is transmitted mainly by the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito. Outbreaks are due to the four serotypes DEN1, DEN2, DEN3, DEN4. Increasing incidence and repeated outbreaks turns this disease as a serious public health problem (Barrera et al., 2002).

The data were analyzed. Out of 245 samples 111 were showed positive for dengue virus infection. The positive peak values were observed between the months August and December. The maximum positivity was observed in the age group between 16-45 years. Male and female were affected equally. In conclusion, the present study results showed that the study region is endemic for dengue virus infection and there is an urgent need for the continuous monitoring to prevent further transmission of the disease to the community, for which early diagnosis is essential.
