Immunological and viral determinants of dengue severity in hospitalized adults in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. [PDF]
The relationships between the infecting dengue serotype, primary and secondary infection, viremia and dengue severity remain unclear. This cross-sectional study examined these interactions in adult patients hospitalized with dengue in Ha Noi.158 patients

Allosteric Regulation of RNA Affinity by Motif V‐VI Coupling in West Nile Virus NS3 Helicase
ABSTRACT The rise of flaviviral diseases, including West Nile virus (WNV), presents a growing threat to global public health and underscores the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. The non‐structural protein 3 helicase (NS3h) of the Orthoflavivirus genus, including WNV, is essential for viral replication and a promising antiviral target ...

Functional analysis of antibodies against dengue virus type 4 reveals strain-dependent epitope exposure that impacts neutralization and protection [PDF]
Although prior studies have characterized the neutralizing activities of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against dengue virus (DENV) serotypes 1, 2, and 3 (DENV-1, DENV-2, and DENV-3), few reports have assessed the activity of MAbs against DENV-4.

Exploring the genetic diversity of the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of Dengue virus
Background Dengue virus (DENV), with its four antigenically distinct serotypes, is the etiological agent of dengue fever, which is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions but has recently spread to previously non-endemic areas such as Europe.

Dengue Serotype Differences in Urban and Semi-rural Communities in Ecuador
Dengue is a major vector-borne infection causing large outbreaks in urban communities in tropical regions. During the period 2010- 2014; 434 serum samples from febrile patients were collected from a semi-rural community hospital located in the ...

Dengue Virus Capsid Protein Interaction With Nucleic Acids
Binding of dengue virus capsid protein (DENV C) to ssDNA alters Trp fluorescence intensity, lifetime, and anisotropy, revealing structural rearrangements in the complex and suggesting a possible association with liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) transmission has greatly increased in the last decade, partly due to the ...

Dengue Virus-Infected Dendritic Cells, but Not Monocytes, Activate Natural Killer Cells through a Contact-Dependent Mechanism Involving Adhesion Molecules [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells play a protective role against dengue virus (DENV) infection, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood.

Abstract Climate and environmental changes driven by global economic activities directly affect the physiology of insect vectors, such as Aedes spp., accelerating their development, increasing the number of generations per season and increasing the risk of transmission of aetiological agents. This study aimed to analyse how local climatic variables and

Age-associated differences in clinical manifestations and laboratory parameters during a dengue virus type 4 outbreak in Argentina [PDF]
Infection by any of the four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes produces a wide spectrum of clinical illness in humans. Differences in clinical manifestation and severity have been associated with secondary heterologous infection, patient age, and virus ...
