Fresh water is the water present for weeks in POT/PLATES in your kitchen, or WATER in a vase placed on the table for decoration purpose, or water standing in the lawns outside houses.
Dengue mosquito lays eggs in water , in which adult mosquitoes grow up. When they bite a patient suffering from dengue , the mosquitoes acquire infection . And further when they bite a healthy individual, the healthy person gets dengue. And so the cycle continues. More mosquitoes grow in standing-fresh-water and bite dengue patients first, and then they bite healthy person and cause dengue in them.
