A genetic and pathologic study of a DENV2 clinical isolate capable of inducing encephalitis and hematological disturbances in immunocompetent mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of dengue fever (DF), a mosquito-borne illness endemic to tropical and subtropical regions. There is currently no effective drug or vaccine formulation for the prevention of DF and its more severe forms, i.e ...

Interim Report on SNP analysis and forensic microarray probe design for South American hemorrhagic fever viruses, tick-borne encephalitis virus, henipaviruses, Old World Arenaviruses, filoviruses, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses, Rift Valley fever [PDF]
, 2012 The goal of this project is to develop forensic genotyping assays for select agent viruses, enhancing the current capabilities for the viral bioforensics and law enforcement community. We used a multipronged approach combining bioinformatics analysis, PCR-enriched samples, microarrays and TaqMan assays to develop high resolution and cost effective ...

Neutralizing Antibodies after Infection with Dengue 1 Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 Severity of disease is markedly increased when infection with dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) follows infection with DENV-1. Studies have shown that heterologous neutralizing antibody titers are inversely correlated with severity of a second infection.

Use of a Novel Detection Tool to Survey Orthohantaviruses in Wild-Caught Rodent Populations
Viruses, 2022 Orthohantaviruses are negative-stranded RNA viruses with trisegmented genomes that can cause severe disease in humans and are carried by several host reservoirs throughout the world. Old World orthohantaviruses are primarily located throughout Europe and

Genetic risk for dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever in multiple ancestries
EBioMedicine, 2020 Background: Genetic risk factors for dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS) and dengue fever (DF) are limited, in particular there are sparse data on genetic risk across diverse populations.

A short review of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and its extrarenal complications
Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2014 Hantaviruses are enveloped tri-segmented negative-stranded RNA viruses. Infection from these viruses is growing in last decades. They are causative agent for two types of diseases:a) Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), mostly observed in ...

Seasonal pulses of Marburg virus circulation in juvenile Rousettus aegyptiacus bats coincide with periods of increased risk of human infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Marburg virus (family Filoviridae) causes sporadic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Bats have been implicated as likely natural reservoir hosts based most recently on an investigation of cases among miners infected in 2007 ...
