Dengue Virus Disease: From Origin to Outbreak provides a detailed accounting of one of the world's fastest growing infections. According to the World Health Organization, Dengue virus incidence has increased 30-fold over the past 50 years, with up to 50 to 100 million infections occurring annually in over 100 endemic countries. This estimate puts nearly half the world's population at risk. This book reviews the history, clinical and diagnostic aspects of dengue virus, also presenting our current knowledge on the pathophysiology of severe dengue

During the initial phase of this study we have completed construction of recombinant baculoviruses that separately express full-length E or NS1 glycoprotein of dengue type 2 and type 4 viruses. Radio-immunoprecipitation was performed to analyze the dengue product in the lysate of recombinant virus infected cells. The results showed that insect cells infected with recombinant b (DEN 4, 100%E) produced a protein with molecular weight of 55-60 kilodalton (Kd) as predicted for the glycosylated form of dengue E glycoprotein. Similarly, recombinant b (DEN 4,

Dengue virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family, which includes viruses associated with human diseases such as yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and hepatitis C. Dengue fever is transmitted by mosquitoes, principally Aedes aegypti. There are four serotypes of dengue virus, of which DENV-2 has been the most prevalent in many recent epidemics. Following primary infection, lifelong immunity develops, preventing repeated assault by the same serotype. However, the non-neutralizing antibodies from a previous infection or maternally acquired antibodies are thought

Outbreaks and major epidemics of dengue continue to afflict human populations, especially in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Dengue viruses, transmitted predominantly by mosquito species of the Aedes genus, include four serotypes that are distinguishable by plaque reduction-- neutralization with type specific monoclonal antibodies. Dengue is characterized by fever, rash, severe headache, and joint pain. Its mortality rate is low. However, over the past few decades, a more severe form of dengue, characterized by hemorrhage and shock

Zika Virus provides an authoritative account of one of most fascinating viruses of the 21st century, covering all the main points. It includes coverage of clinical manifestations, such as fever and fatigue, but also delves into neurological manifestations like acute demyelinating neuropathy. In addition, the book discusses new evidence that suggests that Zika fever in pregnant women can cause abnormal brain development in fetuses by mother-to-child transmission. The Zika virus infection has become one of the first where women are

PART 1 -- Dengue virus infection is an emerging infectious disease with an increasing prevalence of global scale, especially in the tropical countries. Several socioeconomic and environmental factors are responsible for the surging of dengue outbreaks in the 21st century. The easy access to transportation and global urbanization contribute most significantly to the prevalence of dengue infection in the late 20th century. The poor environmental conditions in many countries make the control of mosquito vector a difficult or even impossible task

Dengue is the most important mosquito-transmitted viral disease in humans. Half of the world population is at risk of infection, mostly in tropical and sub-tropical areas. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 50 to 100 million infections occur yearly, with 50,000 to 100,000 deaths related to dengue, mainly in children. Recent estimates show higher numbers, up to three times more, with 390 million estimated dengue infections per year, among which 96 million apparent infections (Bhatt et al. 2013). Initially localized to South-East Asia, dengue virus (DENV)

Dengue fever is an infectious disease found around the world that is caused by four closely related, but distinct, types of viruses commonly transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Triggering excessive bleeding, dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue hemorrhagic shock can be fatal. Dengue Fever and Other Hemorrhagic Viruses explores the biology of the dengue virus and similar viruses such as Ebola, Marburg virus, and Lassa fever, as well as their symptoms, where they are commonly found, how they are

This edited book Dengue - Immunopathology and Control Strategies contains eight chapters divided in three sections that underline important aspects of dengue virus, the most prevalent and life-threatening arbovirus in the world, including virus replication cycle and pathology, diagnostic methods, and control. The first section brings knowledge on basic aspects of dengue virus replication which can be associated to its immunopathology. The second section includes two chapters on dengue diagnosis and emphasizes that in spite of the many scientific efforts,

Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever is the most important arboviral disease of humans today. Over 2.5 billion people are at risk from infection; each year there are 50 to 100 million cases of dengue fever and several hundred thousand cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever. The public health importance of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, and the dramatic increase in published literature on this disease make this book particularly timely. It provides for the first time a comprehensive review of the subject, including history,
