Hi. Does anyone know / or heard whether there are any mosquitoes in Dalat? And more importantly - any history of dengue fever there?

Mosquitoes are part of life in Asia (and Australia too). In Vietnam, there are places with fewer mosquitoes than other places, but I have yet to find any city where mosquitoes are completely absent.

In the lowland areas of Nguyễn Công Trứ, Nguyễn Thị Nghĩa, Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa, Nam Hồ, Trần Hưng Đạo, and Đào Duy Từ streets where the ground is often wet, mosquitoes are more noticeable than the dry and cool areas of Phù Đổng Thiên Vương, Bùi Thị Xuân, Võ Trường Toản, Trần Phú, etc.

Due to the cool climate and higher elevation, the mosquitoes in Da Lat are believed to be rarely poisonous even with the larger amount of vegetations and bodies of water. I don't remember reading about Dengue fever there even during the mosquito epidemic in 2010.
