  2. 6. Characterization of dengue virus isolates from patients experiencing dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome

    Author : Anne Tuiskunen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) belong to the genus flavivirus, and have a positive sense, single-stranded RNA genome of ~11 kb. The DENVs cause the most common arthropod-borne viral disease in man with ~100 million infections per year. The sole measure of control is limiting the mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti and Ae.

    Abstract : Dengue fever (DF) is the most common global viral mosquito-borne infection, with 100 million estimated cases annually in tropical and subtropical areas. The dengue viruses (genus Flavivirus, Flaviviridae) occur in 4 serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4). Dengue diseases range from a mild febrile disease to severe hemorrhagic fever. READ MORE
