Molecular epidemiology of Malaysian dengue 2 viruses isolated over twenty-five years (1968-1993).
The limited sequencing approach was used to study the molecular epidemiology of 24 Malaysian dengue 2 viruses which were isolated between 1968 and 1993. The sequences of a 240-nucleotide-long region across the envelope/non-structural 1 protein (E/NS1) gene junction of the isolates were determined and analysed. Alignment and comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the is...
متن کاملRapid dengue diagnosis and interpretation.
Outbreaks of dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) pose a serious threat to more than 85 tropical and sub-tropical countries throughout the world. The World Health Organization has identified dengue to be one of the most under-reported diseases, with actual cases in the millions. It is also recognised as one of the most important and rapidly rising mosquito-transmitted infection...
متن کاملMolecular and epidemiologic analysis of dengue virus isolates from Somalia.
Nucleotide sequence analysis was performed on 14 dengue virus isolates (13 dengue-2 viruses and 1 dengue-3 virus) recovered from febrile soldiers in Somalia in 1993. The dengue-2 viruses were most closely related to dengue-2 virus recovered in Somalia in 1984. However, differences in nucleotide sequence (0.35% to 1.35%) were evident among the 1993 isolates. These differences were closely associ...
متن کاملMolecular evolution, distribution and genetic relationship among the dengue 2 viruses isolated from different clinical severity.
Twenty-two strains of dengue 2 virus, isolated in China, Latin America, New Guinea and Thailand were subjected to phylogenetic analysis. The UPGMA analysis was carried out on each gene region of dengue virus and demonstrated that outcome from most of the gene regions showed similar results except those from NS4B and YUTR with very short nucleotide length. Among ten regions examined, the results...
متن کاملDengue situation in Malaysia.
Dengue has now emerged as one of the major public health problems in Malaysia. It was first reported in 1901 in Penang and since then the disease has become endemic throughout the country. The first case of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) was reported in 1962. Subsequent to this, a major outbreak of DHF occurred in 1973 when almost the whole nation was involved. In 1974, a plan of action for pr...
