I've spent lots of time in India. It's good to learn what the mosquito that can carry Dengue looks like. They are smaller and fly much faster and more erratically than a common mosquito – way harder to swat! If they settle down, you can see white stripes on their long legs and body.

If you notice them, you can sometimes figure out why they are congregating, they need blood and standing still water to procreate.

At one place I stayed, next door there was a construction site where the workers also slept bare skinned at the site. That's the only time I caught it. Another place I stayed was also seriously infested, I couldn't sit outside. I went looking and found two barrels of rain water on the roof, full of larvae. I added a small amount of dishwasher liquid to the barrels, which worked. Mosquitos went away in a few days.
