Dengue Virus Net is the web resource for anyone interested in dengue. Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection that causes a severe flu-like illness (dengue fever), and sometimes a potentially lethal complication called dengue haemorrhagic fever. Global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. About two fifths of the world's population are now at risk. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide, mostly in urban and semi-urban areas. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti or more rarely the Aedes albopictus mosquito, which feed during the day. Dengue haemorrhagic fever is a leading cause of serious illness and death among children in some Asian countries. A vaccine for dengue fever has been approved by the FDA in May 2019 and is commercially available in a number of countries.

The objectives of Dengue Virus Net are to be the public and professional information resource for dengue and to serve as a network in the exchange of information and news related to dengue.

  Yellow Fever, Zika virus, Dengue, Chikungunya -- France
  A potentially deadly mosquito that can carry viruses such as yellow fever and Zika has been spotted in Brittany, northern France, sparking fears they may soon land on British shores. Asian tiger mosquitoes [_Aedes albopictus_] have been confirmed to be in the commune of Domagne in the department of Ile-et-Vilaine in western Brittany.
  Health authorities are preparing an intensive campaign to rid the area of the insects with strong insecticides.

• RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) natural antiviral inhibitors: a review Tue, 04 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Viral diseases are the cause of many global epidemics, leading to deaths, affecting the quality of life of populations, and impairing public health. The limitations in the treatment of viral diseases and the constant resistance to conventional antiviral treatments encourage researchers to discover new compounds. In this perspective, this literature review presents isolated molecules and extracts of natural products capable of inhibiting the activity of the nonstructural protein that acts as the...
• Immune-associated plasma proteins in oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients Tue, 04 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  CONCLUSION: This data provided descriptive knowledge of oral and oropharyngeal cancer immunity at a fundamental level. Additional research should concentrate on the significantly different factors, especially 4-1BB, PDL-1, and PD-1, which may contribute to the development of novel alternative diagnostic tools or therapies for patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer.
• Reactivity of DENV-positive sera against recombinant envelope proteins produced in bacteria and eukaryotic cells Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease endemic in many tropical and subtropical countries. It is caused by the dengue virus (DENV) that can be classified into 4 different serotypes (DENV-1-4). Early diagnosis and management can reduce morbidity and mortality rates of severe forms of the disease, as well as decrease the risk of larger outbreaks. Hiperendemicity in some regions of the world and the possibility that some people develop a more severe form of disease after a secondary infection caused by...
• Chemical profiling of Dizygostemon riparius (Plantaginaceae) plant extracts and its application against larvae of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Dengue fever is a reemerging disease of global concern among health authorities due to its high rate of proliferation. In 2019, Brazil registered its second-highest dengue mortality rate since 1998, with approximately 754 deaths and 1.5 million probable cases. Brazilian Ministry of Health prevention and control strategies for Aedes include insecticides, eradication of breeding sites, and awareness campaigns. However, as new mosquito variants resistant to conventional insecticides emerge, there...
• Reconstructing long-term dengue virus immunity in French Polynesia Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: By analysing 35 years of dengue data in French Polynesia, we characterised key factors affecting the dissemination profile and reporting of dengue cases in an epidemiological context simplified by mono-serotypic circulation. Our analysis provides key estimates that can inform the study of dengue in more complex settings where the co-circulation of multiple serotypes can greatly complicate inference.
• Dynamics of Neutralizing Antibodies and Binding Antibodies to Domains of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in COVID-19 Survivors Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Neutralizing antibody level is used to predict immune protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is a major target for virus-neutralizing antibody. A number of neutralizing epitopes were mapped on receptor binding domain (RBD) and N-terminal domain (NTD) of S1 subunit of the spike. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody usually decreases over time after recovery. Level of neutralizing antibody and binding antibody to several domains from COVID-19 recovered patients was observed...
• Innate and adaptive immune evasion by dengue virus Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease which causes significant public health concerns in tropical and subtropical countries. Dengue virus (DENV) has evolved various strategies to manipulate the innate immune responses of the host such as 'hiding' in the ultrastructure of the host, interfering with the signaling pathway through RNA modifications, inhibiting type 1 IFN production, as well as inhibiting STAT1 phosphorylation. DENV is also able to evade the adaptive immune responses of the host through...
• Serological cross-reactivity among common flaviviruses Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  The Flavivirus genus is made up of viruses that are either mosquito-borne or tick-borne and other viruses transmitted by unknown vectors. Flaviviruses present a significant threat to global health and infect up to 400 million of people annually. As the climate continues to change throughout the world, these viruses have become prominent infections, with increasing number of infections being detected beyond tropical borders. These include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese...
• Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification-based proteomic analysis of host-pathogen protein interactions in the midgut of Aedes albopictus during dengue virus infection Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Aedes albopictus (Ae. albopictus), an important vector of dengue virus (DENV), is distributed worldwide. Identifying host proteins involved in flavivirus replication in Ae. albopictus and determining their natural antiviral mechanisms are critical to control virus transmission. Revealing the key proteins related to virus replication and exploring the host-pathogen interaction are of great significance in finding new pathways of the natural immune response in Ae. albopictus. Isobaric tags for...
• Effects of blood meal sources on the biological characteristics of Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0400
  Mosquitoes transmit many diseases to humans and animals e.g., malaria, yellow fever, dengue, filariasis and encephalitis. The fundamental target of this search was to study the effect of three different blood meal sources (human; rabbit and pigeon) on some biological and behavioral properties of Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens. The results have assured that the females of the mosquito Ae. aegypti that were fed on human blood meal has registered the highest feeding activity from feeding on the...
