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 is caused by infection with any of four mosquito-transmitted dengue viruses (DENV-1-4) and is characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, and leukopenia. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially fatal hyperinflammatory syndrome that can be familial or acquired, and is ...
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 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...
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...
Certain members of the Flavivirus genus are the most important arthropod borne viral pathogens of humans, causing increasingly serious disease outbreaks. The flaviviral disease that imposes the highest toll on society is dengue, which is caused by four different viruses termed serotypes DENV1-4, ...
