Genome circularization and RNA virus replication
As featured on the cover of the August 15th issue of G&D, an Argentinian research team, led by Dr. Andrea Gamarnik, report on their recent discovery of a novel mechanism of dengue virus replication. view more (2006-08-01)
Gene expression profiling of dengue virus infection in cell lines and patients
Researchers at the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases and the Genome Institute of Singapore have identified new host genes associated with dengue virus infection, which may open new avenues to developing a drug to treat the disease. view more (2007-11-07)
Computer Models Aid Understanding of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement in Spread of Dengue Fever
Some viruses' ability to exploit the human body's own defenses to increase their replication may be both a blessing and curse, according to the findings of a study conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2005-10-17)
Visualizing virus replication in 3 dimensions
Dengue fever is the most common infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes - some 100 million people around the world are infected. Researchers at the Hygiene Institute at Heidelberg University Hospital were the first to present a three-dimensional model of the location in the human cell where the virus is reproduced. view more (2009-05-08)
Local climate influences dengue transmission
Researchers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have found that dengue transmission in Puerto Rico is dependent upon local climate and short-term changes in temperature and precipitation. view more (2009-02-17)
Lower transmission increases dengue deaths
A pair of researchers has answered a puzzle about why efforts to lower the transmission of dengue virus in Thailand have not resulted in decreases in the severe, life-threatening, form of the infection. In fact, it seems to have had just the opposite effect. view more (2008-02-05)
Smaller mosquitoes are more likey to be infected with viruses causing human diseases
An entomologist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, a division of the new UI Institute for Natural Resource Sustainability, says smaller mosquitoes are more likely to be infected with viruses that cause diseases in humans. view more (2008-11-04)
The cost of dengue fever challenges public health and national economies
A new study of the disease burden of dengue fever in Malaysia strengthens the case for development of a vaccine against the mosquito-borne illness. view more (2005-07-07)
Substantial costs and underreporting of dengue fever, concerns about blood supply face US
Dengue fever, known as "breakbone fever" because of the excruciating back and joint pain that accompanies this infectious disease, is a growing public health threat for people living in tropical countries, as well as travelers to destinations such as Thailand, Brazil and Puerto Rico. view more (2007-10-17)
UQ research targets West Nile virus and dengue fever
Research conducted at The University of Queensland could contribute to the development of a vaccine and cure for West Nile virus and Dengue fever. view more (2008-12-11)
Severe dengue infections may go unrecognized in international travelers
Severe cases of a common travelers' infection may not be recognized if doctors rely on the World Health Organization's (WHO) guidelines for identifying it. view more (2007-03-27)
New Mosquito Control Strategy Proves Successful Against Dengue Fever
Over 380,000 people have been protected from dengue fever in Vietnam thanks to the implementation of a novel strategy to control mosquitoes in the country, concludes a report in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2005-02-09)
Genetically engineered mosquitoes show resistance to dengue fever virus
Researchers have successfully created a genetically engineered mosquito that shows a high level of resistance against the most prevalent type of dengue fever virus, providing a powerful weapon against a disease that infects 50 million people each year. view more (2006-03-09)
Biologists visualize protein interaction that may initiate viral infection
Biologists at Purdue University have taken a "snapshot" of a Velcro-like protein on a cell's surface just after it attached to the dengue virus, a linkup thought to initiate the early stages of infection. view more (2006-02-10)
Dengue Virus Reveals Its Circular Secret
The first step in the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses is no mystery: it's the pesky insect's bite that allows the virus to enter its victim's bloodstream. But for some of the most dangerous insect-borne viruses, details of what happens next have been unclear. view more (2006-08-02)
Dengue fever costs billions in health care, lost productivity and absenteeism
Researchers at Brandeis, in collaboration with several other institutions worldwide, have pinpointed for the first time the multi-country economic costs of dengue fever, the endemic and epidemic mosquito-borne illness that is a rapidly growing public health problem in tropical and sub-tropical countries. view more (2009-05-08)
Simple idea to dramatically improve dengue vaccinations
An innovative new study explains, for the first time, the failure of previous attempts to vaccinate against the four known Dengue viruses, and it suggests a very simple solution - injecting the four vaccines simultaneously at different locations on the body. view more (2006-03-30)
UH Manoa researcher examines possible implications of daily commute and mosquito-borne diseases
University of Hawaii at Manoa assistant researcher Durrell Kapan recently published a paper, Man Bites Mosquito: Understanding the Contribution of Human Movement to Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics, in PLoS One. Published August 26, the paper highlights how daily commuting patterns in mega-cities may be a critically overlooked factor in understanding... view more... (2009-09-18)
DENGUE FEVER IN THAILAND: HOW TO SPOT EPIDEMICOUTBREAKS AGAINST THE ENDEMIC BACKGROUND
Dengue is a viral disease which is prevalent in a hundred or so tropical countries. Up to 50 million cases have been recorded each year in the world according to WHO. It is in fact induced by four viruses (Dengue serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4) belonging to the flavivirus family. The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the vector. Two forms of dengue exist. The... view more...

NIAID experts see dengue as potential threat to US public health
A disease most Americans have never heard of could soon become more prevalent if dengue, a flu-like illness that can turn deadly, continues to expand into temperate climates and increase in severity, according to a new commentary by Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the... view more... (2008-01-09)
