There is no association of marks and no way of guessing dengue occurrence based on mosquito bites .
It’s a mosquito not a snake it doesn’t leave diagnostic bite marks .
Yes dengue is caused by anopheles mosquito. But you can’t preempt the infection based on the marks .
Insect bite may cause itching and redness . Just apply some soothing lotion over bite marks .
