Applied informatics manipulation for fight against dengue
نویسنده
چکیده
Dengue is an important tropical infectious disease. This infection has been widely studied and there are many reports on its pre-clinical and clinical aspects. In the era of information technology, scientists can successfully manipulate the large amount of information available on dengue for use in the diagnosis, treatment and control of this disease. In this article, the author briefly summarizes and comments on applied informatics manipulation for the prevention and control of dengue.

Protection against dengue disease by synthetic nucleic acid antibody prophylaxis/immunotherapy
Dengue virus (DENV) is the most important mosquito-borne viral infection in humans. In recent years, the number of cases and outbreaks has dramatically increased worldwide. While vaccines are being developed, none are currently available that provide balanced protection against all DENV serotypes. Advances in human antibody isolation have uncovered DENV neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) that are c...

The lack of reliable, high-throughput tools for characterizing anti-dengue virus (DENV) antibodies in large numbers of serum samples has been an obstacle in understanding the impact of neutralizing antibodies on disease progression and vaccine efficacy. A reporter system using pseudoinfectious DENV reporter virus particles (RVPs) was previously developed by others to facilitate the genetic mani...
