A woman dressed as a bright, winged "dengue mosquito" performed a comedic dance in her kitchen, sharing the video online where it quickly spread across social media. The costume featured illuminated wings, oversized green glasses, a crown and a long nose, and the performance was praised for its humor while also reminding viewers that the Aedes aegypti mosquito transmits dengue, Zika and chikungunya.
