Dengue fever presents in a nonspecific manner and may not be distinguishable from other viral or bacterial illness. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the clinical description of dengue fever is an acute febrile illness of 2-7 days duration associated with 2 or more of th...
The detec- tion of the viral genome or viral antigens also provides evidence of infection. Seroconversion of IgM or IgG antibodies is the stand- ard for serologically confirming a dengue infection. The presence of IgM or high levels of IgG in acute serum col- lected from a suspected dengue...
Is encephalitis bacterial or viral? What is a dengue epidemic? Is mumps a DNA or RNA virus? Is yellow fever a DNA or RNA virus? Is herpes an RNA virus? Is malaria a bacterial or viral infection? Is Hep E a linear RNA virus? What type of RNA virus is the flu virus? Is Hepatitis ...
Dengue infection in adults may be inapparent or may lead to a range of illnesses from undifferentiated fever, clinically indistinguishable from many other viral or bacterial infections, to mild dengue fever, to severe DHF/DSS with hypovolemic shock. Primary dengue virus infections in infants and ...
Is it a Bacterial or Viral Infection? Viruses and bacteria are two types of potentially disease-causing (pathogenic) particles. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and can't reproduce without the assistance of a host. Bacteria are capable of reproducing on their own. The symptoms of viral an...
Dengue –typhoid co-infection: A study on coexistence of viral and bacterial infection in endemic areasDr. Monika AgrawalDr. Ashish Bajaj
This article summarizes recent research at the molecular and host population level for the two major mosquito-borne flaviviral pathogens, dengue and Japanese encephalitis. Although the flavivirus genome is completely known and complete RNA genomes have been synthesized which are capable of replicating ...
Positive strand RNA viruses, including flaviviruses, generally utilize the translational machinery of the host to synthesize viral proteins either in a cap-dependent or cap-independent manner to produce polyprotein precursors which are then processed into mature proteins. Polyprotein processing is accomplis...
DIPs are defined as virus-like particles that: (i) contain a normal set of viral proteins; (ii) contain a partial parental viral genome, which is referred to as a DI genome or DI RNA; (iii) require a parental wild type (WT) helper virus to reproduce; and (iv) interfere specifically...
