👉 Honduras, like many parts of Central America, has faced significant public health challenges, including outbreaks of infectious diseases. The country has been particularly affected by dengue fever, Zika virus, and other mosquito-borne illnesses due to its warm climate and abundant standing water, which provide ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Dengue fever, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, can cause severe symptoms such as high fever, joint pain, and rash, and in some cases, can lead to more serious complications like hemorrhagic fever. The Zika virus, also spread by Aedes mosquitoes, gained global attention during the 2015-2016 outbreak, raising concerns about its potential link to birth defects in newborns. Public health efforts in Honduras focus on vector control, vaccination programs, and community education to mitigate the spread of these infections and protect the population.
