Yes there are symptomatic changes, the values to be corrected are different and management is different for various mosquito borne diseases. Symptoms of infection usually start about four to 15 days (the incubation period is typically four to seven days) after a mosquito bite transfers the viruses to the human. In most instances, the disease lasts about three to 10 days, although a few patients' symptoms may last longer. During the incubation period, large amounts of the virus are present in the person's blood just before the person becomes symptomatic; this is when a mosquito that may be uninfected can pick up viruses that can be transferred to other humans. However, the virus has to develop within the mosquito for a few days before it is ready to be transferred during the blood meal (mosquito bite). So once you're infected if you do the Dengue IgM test you should be able to find the result.
