Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, which assumed pandemic proportions during the latter half of the last century, have shown no indication of slowing their growth during this first decade of the twenty-first century. Challenges remain in understanding the basic mechanisms of viral replication and ...
Better knowledge of the face of the current dengue virus (DENV) epidemiology in Africa can help to implement efficient strategies to curb the burden of dengue fever. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of DENV infection in Africa. We searched PubMed,...
Dengue virus (DENV), the cause of Dengue fever, is a single positive-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. 5 closely related but antigenically distinct serotypes of the virus have been found: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4 and DENV-5. DENV has a genome of...

Dengue fever and DHF are caused by four very closely related dengue virus (DENV) serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4. However, most of their antigenic determinant portions are quite different from each other; for this reason, vaccination against one serotype of the virus do not...

Dengue is reported as the second most diagnosed cause of fever after malaria and also the dengue fever (DF) being the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease8. The rate of infection of dengue virus by Aedes mosquito spe- cies (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) increases geometrically...
