Seasonality effects on Dengue: basic reproduction number, sensitivity analysis and optimal control [PDF]
Dengue is a vector-borne disease transmitted from an infected human to an Aedes mosquito, during a blood-meal. Dengue is still a major public health problem. A model for the disease transmission is presented, composed by human and mosquitoes compartments. The aim is to simulate the effects of seasonality, on the vectorial capacity and, consequently, on

Wolbachia versus dengue: Evolutionary forecasts. [PDF]
A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

Specific detection of dengue and Zika virus antibodies using envelope proteins with mutations in the conserved fusion loop [PDF]
Detection of antibodies is widely used for the diagnosis of infections with arthropod-borne flaviviruses including dengue (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Due to the emergence of ZIKV in areas endemic for DENV, massive co-circulation is observed and methods

Background Globally, ~500 000 people with severe dengue (SD) require hospitalization yearly; ~12 500 (2.5%) die. Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is a potentially fatal hyperinflammatory condition for which HLH-directed therapy (as ...

Meteorological indicators of dengue epidemics in non-endemic Northwest Argentina [PDF]
In the last two decades dengue cases increased significantly throughout the world. In several regions dengue re-emerged, particularly in Latin America, where dengue cases not only increased but also occurred more frequently. It is therefore necessary to understand the mechanisms that drive epidemic outbreaks in non-endemic regions, to help in the ...

Multivariate Hierarchical Frameworks for Modelling Delayed Reporting in Count Data [PDF]
In many fields and applications count data can be subject to delayed reporting. This is where the total count, such as the number of disease cases contracted in a given week, may not be immediately available, instead arriving in parts over time.

Variables epidemiológicas en pacientes con sospecha de dengue
Fundamento: no se avizora la desaparición a corto plazo de los factores que favorecen la diseminación del Aedes aegypti y el incremento en la circulación del virus del dengue. A finales del año 2013 fue abierto un hospital de campaña en Las Tunas, debido

Dengue in Cape Verde: vector control and vaccination [PDF]
In 2009, for the first time in Cape Verde, an outbreak of dengue was reported and over twenty thousand people were infected. Only a few prophylactic measures were taken. The effects of vector control on disease spreading, such as insecticide (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control, as well as an hypothetical vaccine, are estimated through ...

Usefulness and applicability of the revised dengue case classification by disease: multi-centre study in 18 countries [PDF]
Background: In view of the long term discussion on the appropriateness of the dengue classification into dengue fever (DF), dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), the World Health Organization (WHO) has outlined in its new ...
