Dengue fever (DF) is one of the world's emerging infectious diseases. The steady increase in European tourists, as well as soldiers serving on peacekeeping duties, in endemic areas, coupled with the present resurgence of dengue, raises the risk of exposure for a large number of European ...
On the other hand, many stu- dies have shown that subsequent heterologous infection would likely increase the probability of ex- periencing severe dengue fever [15–18]. One of the known mechanisms is the antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) during the second infection me- diated by non-...

This prospective study aimed to identify whether warning signs of severe dengue, including hypovolemia ...
Dengue Fever (DF) outbreaks [44]. Moreover, a prototype EWS in Brazil tracking epidemiological viral circulation data during the 2014 World Cup had effectively “predicted high risk of dengue for 57% of the microregions reporting high levels of dengue during the games” and provided warning 3 ...
