Need more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern regarding Dengue as it is spreading most parts in XXXXXXX and especially in XXXXXXX But before suggesting anything to you, I would like to know more details regarding the mosquito bite.
1. When did you observe the mosquito bite?
2. Dengue in XXXXXXX is spread through Aedes aegypti mosquito. You can check images on google and confirm whether is it the same mosquito you are referring to.
3. Did you get any investigations done after the mosquito bite. If yes, Please upload the investigations report or if not done anything, then I would suggest you get Dengue IgM and IgG done and upload the reports.
4. Did you see any doctor after the incident? If yes, what was his diagnosis and advise?
5. Any other history, you feel is significant to this incident.
Would like to reply you after knowing the details.

I went to had a coconut water at an outlet which was in the middle of beach, no walls behind it and it was after sunset, with very less light. There were lot of mosquitos, which appeared to be jet black and nothing more that i can see (cant see any white strips/not sure if it is visible from naked eye.
When the mosquito bit me i came to know immediately, it was bit sharp bite and i shook my leg and went off that place. But there was no spot or anything where it bit me.
Its only 2 days after the event and hence no investigation is done. Nor there is any symotoms shown as of now.

Brief Answer:
Get Dengue IgM, IgG and NS1 antigen
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the details.
From the description provided by you, I feel that it is unlikely to be Aedes aegypti causing dengue. As the Aedes aegypti mosquito is a black mosquito with white stripes over it. I understand that it would be difficult to know the type of mosquito with naked eye.
As Dengue is spreading in XXXXXXX I advise you to get Dengue IgM and IgG done along with Dengue NS1 antigen. Observe for any symptoms like fever, body rashes and body ache.
Dengue is caused by a virus, so the treatment usually is symptomatic and the symptoms resolves on its own within 7 days.
So, get it investigated to rule out dengue and allay your fears.
Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you with.
