Introduction Dengue fever is a mosquito-transmitted disease of man which has afflicted untold millions of people over the past two centuries. It is caused by viruses classified as a subgroup of the group B togaviruses. Along with other members of that group as well as group A, the dengue viruses have been investigated intensively during recent years. Certain unique aspects of their structure, composition, antigenicity, replication, and antigenic relationships have established the togavirus family as quite distinct from other families of enveloped RNA viruses (see recent review of PFEFFERKORN and SHAPIRO, 1974). The basic studies leading to this conclusion have coincided with epidemiological field investigations which have resulted in a continuing increase in the number of viruses now designated as group A or B togaviruses. This, in turn, has led to a growing appreciation of their immense importance as actual or potential pathogens of man and beast.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dengue and its potentially fatal forms, dengue henorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, once more threaten much of the Americas. In the 1980s the vector control programmes fell victim to the cutbacks in public health expenditure and their responses to dengue outbreaks tended to be a little too late. These guidelines have risen to the challenge by incorporating all aspects of the prevention and control of the disease and its vectors. In addition, because dengue is primarily a problem of domestic sanitation and households can combat the problem inexpensively. The guidelines enmphasize ways to transfer responsibility for dengue control and prevention to the community."

Book excerpt: Dengue is an endemic viral disease affecting human population in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and semi-urban areas. Dengue fever (DF) and its more serious forms, the dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) are becoming important public health problems. The global prevalence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. An estimated 2.5 billion people in more than 100 countries are at risk of acquiring dengue viral infection with more than 50 million new infections being projected annually, between 20,000 and 25,000 deaths, mainly in children. This book aims to review the possible molecular mechanisms that attribute to the variation of Dengue virus (DENV) disease. Additionally, a description of the animal models that have been developed to study DENV pathogenesis and to test potential vaccines and therapeutics are reviewed. This book also reviews the current understanding of DENV pathogenesis and the challenges confronting vaccine and therapeutic developers. Other chapters in this book examine the responses of target cells, including dendritic cells in people infected with DENV, recent developments in the molecular diagnosis for dengue virus, the mathematical models on dengue transmission and control, and a discussion of the ways in which to prevent and control dengue outbreaks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vector transmission of pathogens affecting human, animal, and plant health continues to plague mankind both in industrialized and Third World coun tries. The diseases caused by these pathogens cost billions of dollars an nually in medical expenses and lost productivity. Some cause widespread of food-and fiber-producing plants and animals, whereas others destruction present direct and immediate threats to human life and further development in Third World countries. During the past 15 years or so, we have witnessed an explosive increase in interest in how vectors acquire, carry, and subsequently inoculate dis ease agents to human, animal, and plant hosts. This interest transcends the boundaries of anyone discipline and involves researchers from such varied fields as human and veterinary medicine, entomology, plant pa thology, virology, physiology, microbiology, parasitology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering, ultrastructure, biophysics, bio systematics, biogeography, ecology, behavioral sciences, and others. Ac companying and perhaps generating this renewed interest is the realization that fundamental knowledge of pathogen-vector-host interrelationships is a first and necessary step in our quest for efficient, safe methods of disease control.
Book Synopsis Frontiers in Dengue Virus Research by : Kathryn A. Hanley
Download or read book Frontiers in Dengue Virus Research written by Kathryn A. Hanley and published by Caister Academic Press Limited. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dengue virus (DENV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, is the causative agent of dengue fever, currently one of the most significant emerging disease challenges to global public health. Although dengue is an old disease, recent decades have seen an unprecedented increase in the geographic range, incidence, and severity of infection. The virus infects 100 million people annually and is endemic in many tropical and sub-tropical regions in the world. At present, neither a licensed vaccine nor anti-viral drugs are available to control dengue disease, prompting a plethora of research initiatives aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular virology, genomics, and evolution of this important virus. This book brings together a panel of expert dengue virologists to produce a timely review of the rapidly-expanding dengue research literature. In addition, the contributors identify the most pressing questions that remain to be answered, thus providing a stimulus for future research. Topics include: evolutionary history * epidemiology * translation and processing of the viral polyprotein * viral replication * the role of the viral untranslated regions * pathogenesis * host response to DENV * development of animal models * DENV-mosquito interactions * dynamics of dengue virus transmission * emergence of DENV from its ancestral, sylvatic cycle * vaccines * novel anti-dengue drugs * and passive immunotherapy. It is essential reading for every dengue virologist and is highly recommended for all flavivirus and arbovirus virologists.

Book Synopsis Prevention and Control of Dengue and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever by : WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific
Download or read book Prevention and Control of Dengue and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever written by WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, clinical management, epidemiological, surveillance, prevention and control of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever. Although guidelines and advice are universally relevant, the manual is specifically designed for use in South-East Asian countries, where dengue fever remains a major public health concern. Recommendations and advice respond to research demonstrating that different geographic areas show a variable response to infection, have different epidemiological patterns, and require different approaches to control. The book also responds to past failures to control dengue in these countries, citing almost exclusive concentration on space spraying of adult mosquitoes as one of the most important causes. With these problems in mind, the book places major emphasis on measures that can make communities responsible for vector control in the domestic environment as the best way to secure sustained improvements in prevention and control. The book has twelve chapters. The first summarizes what is known about the virus, vector, host, transmission cycle, and virus-host interactions. A brief overview of the global situation is followed by a detailed chronology of the resurgence of dengue in South-East Asia. Clinical manifestations and diagnosis are covered in chapter two, which includes precise criteria for reaching a diagnosis based on clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. Chapter three, on clinical management, gives particular attention to the management of dengue shock syndrome as a medical emergency. The important role of laboratory diagnosis is addressed in chapter four, which describes in detail the laboratory confirmatory tests that are essential for diagnosis. A chapter offering advice on the epidemiological surveillance of cases and vectors is followed by a brief description of vector distribution and bioecology. The second half of the book is devoted to strategies for prevention and control, emphasizing vector control measures that can be undertaken by communities as the best approach to successful and sustainable control. Detailed advice, supported by line drawings, checklists, and charts, is given for all appropriate environmental, biological, and chemical methods of vector control. The book also includes a chapter explaining how to develop an emergency plan for rapid response to epidemics. Further practical guidance is provided in a series of fifteen annexes, which include a model arbovirus laboratory request form, a guide to the relative sensitivity and interpretation of serological tests, and abundant advice on environmental and chemical methods of vector control specific to South-East Asia.
Book Synopsis New Treatment Strategies for Dengue and Other Flaviviral Diseases by : Gregory R. Bock
Download or read book New Treatment Strategies for Dengue and Other Flaviviral Diseases written by Gregory R. Bock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-10-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 to form complexes with a different serotype during a subsequent infection and cause dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, which can be fatal. There is no treatment or vaccine available today that can combat this emerging and uncontrolled disease. This book features contributions from the world’s leading researchers working on dengue and related flaviviruses who examine the current state of the art in the molecular biology of the dengue virus. Particular emphasis is placed on the structure and function of the virus and the targeting of virus proteins by potential antiviral agents. The pathogenesis of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever are discussed in detail, especially the target cells and the specific receptors on these cells, thereby developing a clear overview of host and viral factors that contribute to dengue haemorrhagic fever. Finally, the book reviews the therapeutic options, paying particular attention to ways in which vector, host and environment can play a critical role in the spread of this disease. With dengue fever and other emerging viral diseases becoming increasingly prevalent around the world, this book provides valuable insight into the virus that causes this disease and potential ways to manage it. It is essential reading for all those working in tropical diseases, public health and virology. Praise from the reviews: "The book provides an excellent summary of dengue/flavivirus research and is important for individuals and institutions interested in emerging infectious diseases."
