background: dengue is amongst the most serious mosquito-borne infectious disease with hot spots in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. unfortunately, no licensed vaccine for the disease is currently available in medicine markets. the only option available is the management of dengue vector mosquito, aedes aegypti (diptera: culicidae). method: predatory potential of five odonate nymphs ...

results upon the results from literature search, the researchers found that human is the main reservoir for this virus. there are four serotypes of virus. infection with one serotype cannot protect human against the other three serotypes. dengue fever begins suddenly with an onset of an influenza-like syndrome and sometimes progresses to severe form of the disease. treatment is supportive and i...

background: the aim of this study was to assess community knowledge and behavioral impact of the social mobili­zation and communication strategy applied in a dengue high-risk area in sri lanka. methods: a group of adults visiting selected primary care facilities in colombo district were interviewed to collect socio-demographicdata, attributes of knowledge regarding dengue and the responsive beh...

Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...

in southeast asia, aedes aegypti (l.) has been incriminated as principal vector of dengue viruses and ae. albopictus as the secondary vector of dengue fever. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of three for-mula tions of pyrethrin derived from tanacetum cinerariaefolium against the dengue/dengue haemorrhagic fever vectors aedes aegypti and ae. albopictus in the...

Dengue usually presents itself with subclinical or mild infection to full blown dengue fever (DF) to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). In Kolkata, dengue started in 1824 followed by five epidemics that occurred in 1836, 1906, 1911, 1923 and 2005. The aim of this investigation is to study the clinicohematological correlation of all patients with respect to their gen...

Objective(s): Production of a recombinant and immunogenic antigen using dengue virus type-3 envelope protein is a key point in dengue vaccine development and diagnostic researches. The goals of this study were providing a recombinant protein from dengue virus type-3 envelope protein and evaluation of its immunogenicity in mice. Materials and Methods: Multiple amino acid sequences of different i...

Background and Objective: Dengue fever has become a major public health problem in many world regions due to increased trade, travel, and problems controlling Aedes vectors. This policy brief aims to review, analyze, and present evidence-based policies for dengue prevention and control. Methods: The present research is a compilation of a policy brief in Iran, carried out in 3 stages according ...

Background and Objective: Dengue virus infection remains a health problem. Dengue Virus Non-Structural protein 1 (NS1) increases the release of proinflammatory cytokines that induce intestinal zonulin expression. As a result, the ZO-1 protein translocates to the cytoplasm, which increases enterocyte permeability. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dengue NS1 on intestinal zonulin an...
