Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by Dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the vector Aedes mosquito. There are two types of mosquitoes capable of transmitting dengue fever, Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti, ...
The mosquito-borne disease dengue is caused by four serologically- and genetically-related viruses, termed DENV-1 to DENV-4. Historical setbacks due to lack of human-like mouse models of dengue were partially remedied with characterization of lethal DENV-2 infection in immunocompromised AG129 mice ...
Dengue feveris an arbovirus infection caused by one of four distinct serotypes of dengue virus (DENV 1–4). DENV is endemic in several countries from Asia, Africa, and South and Central America. Similarly to ZIKV, DENV is transmitted by the widespread and invasive mosquito speciesA. aegyptia...
Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by infection with dengue virus (DENV) that represents a serious and expanding global health threat. Most DENV infections are inapparent or produce mild and self-limiting illness; however a significant proportion results in severe disease characterized by ...
Dengue infections are caused by four closely related viruses named DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. These four viruses are called serotypes because each has different interactions with the antibodies in human blood serum. The four dengue viruses are similar — they share approximately 65% of...
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the dengue virus. It affects 390 million people every year around the world and can cause death if left untreated, according to CSIRO. Prasad Paradkar, a Senior Research Scientist with the CSIRO, said that the disease is at epidemic levels ...
mature female mosquitoes may become infected after feeding on the blood of DENV-infected patients. After ingestion by a mosquito, the virus infects the midgut followed by propagation to other tissues, including the salivary glands. When a mosquito feeds on blood, infectious virus is injected into...
The wide spread of the disease is caused by the shortage of chemical insecticide, and a lack of funding and personnel for dengue prevention and control, Quang said. Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Lien Huong said measures must focus on communication, sanitation, infection monitoring, mosquito...
A depiction of the possible events triggered by DENV infection that lead to hemorrhage development is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Dengue virus interactions with macrophages and endothelial cells that lead to hemorrhage development. a Inoculation by mosquito bite of DENV (DV) into the skin. b The...
Dengue is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by dengue viruses (DENVs) which consists of four antigenically distinct but closely related serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). Dengue prevails in tropical and sub-tropical regions worldwide. It has been estimated recently that...
