Dengue Virus Infection in Africa
Reported incidence of dengue has increased worldwide in recent decades, but little is known about its incidence in Africa. During 1960-2010, a total of 22 countries in Africa reported sporadic cases or outbreaks of dengue; 12 other countries in Africa reported dengue only in travelers.

Impact of preexisting dengue immunity on Zika virus emergence in a dengue endemic region
Zika dynamics in South America The infection dynamics of Zika virus (ZIKV) are difficult to characterize. Many ZIKV infections are asymptomatic, and the clinical presentation of ZIKV is nonspecific. Rodriguez-Barraquer et al.

In this chapter, we will draw attention to the possibility of viral encephalitis caused by a common pathogen: dengue. To this end, it includes necessary knowledge of diagnosis and therapeutic management, such as general notions of infections in the central nervous system; viral encephalitis—diagnostic and therapeutic investigation; arboviruses and ...

Perturbed cholesterol and vesicular trafficking associated with dengue blocking in Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti cells [PDF]
Wolbachia are intracellular maternally inherited bacteria that can spread through insect populations and block virus transmission by mosquitoes, providing an important approach to dengue control.

Pathogenic viruses have RNA genomes that cause acute and chronic infections. These viruses replicate with high mutation rates and exhibit significant genetic diversity, so-called viral quasispecies. Viral quasispecies play an important role in chronic infectious diseases, but little is known about their involvement in acute infectious diseases such as ...

Seroprevalence of Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Antibodies, French Polynesia, 2014–2015
We investigated dengue and chikungunya virus antibody seroprevalence in French Polynesia during 2014–2015. Dengue virus seroprevalence was ≈60% among schoolchildren and >83% among the general population; chikungunya virus seroprevalence was

Dengue virus is an expanding public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, mainly owing to failure in the maintenance of control programs for the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti and increasing and unplanned urbanization. It has been estimated that over 50 million dengue virus infections of varying severity occur globally each ...
