Since I can't go out while I'm sick, I've been doing some research on the history of dengue fever. The four virus types originated in monkeys in the Southeast Asia and Africa 100-800 years ago. The first acknowledgement was in 265 A.D. in a Chinese disease, symptom, and remedy encyclopedia. They called it water poison. They thought that the disease was connected with flying insects and water. Pretty smart, right?
