  We construct an epidemic model for the transmission of dengue fever with an
early-life stage in the vector dynamics and age-structure within hosts. The
early-life stage of the vector is modeled via a general function that supports
multiple vector densities. The {\it basic reproductive number} and {\it vector
demographic threshold} are computed to study the local and global stability of
the infection-free state. A numerical framework is implemented and simulations
are performed.
