Dengue Fever: An Examination and Case Study
Dengue Fever is a mosquito-borne disease found primarily in tropical regions of the Earth. Although not prevalent in much of the western world, dengue appears to be an emerging virus, which prompts a need for further understanding. The purpose of this study is to provide a general overview of the …

Mosquito Menace: Dengue Fever and Public Health in Singapore, 1965 – 2000
Dengue, currently the world’s fastest growing vector-borne disease, is often framed as a “neglected tropical disease” or an “emerging infectious disease”. But dengue is far from novel in Singapore, a tropical island-nation that has dealt with the disease for decades. This dissertation charts a …

Modelling the Transmission of Dengue Fever Based on Spatial and Temporal Patterns
Dengue fever (DF) is a vector-borne disease that has transmit alarmingly in recent decades and has now affected the populations of roughly 100 nations, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. Approximately 390 million cases of dengue fever are reported each year among people living in 128 …

Modelling Infectiology and Optimal Control of Dengue Fever Disease Epidemics in Tanzania
… model for infectiology and optimal control of dengue fever disease epidemics in Tanzania is formulated and analysed. The model describes the interaction between human and dengue fever mosquito populations with treatment. Susceptible human population is divided into two, namely, careful and …

Potential for using climate forecasts in spatio-temporal prediction of dengue fever incidence in Malaysia submitted
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by the bite of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It is estimated that nearly 40% of the world’s population is now at risk from Dengue in over 100 endemic countries including Malaysia. Several studies in various countries in recent years have identified …

Enhancing Dengue Fever Modeling Through a Multi-scale Analysis Framework – A Case Study in the Central Valley of Costa Rica
Dengue fever is the second most widespread tropical disease after malaria and affects populations of more than 100 countries (Derouich and Boutayeb 2006). It is considered one of the most severe viral diseases in terms of morbidity and mortality (Guzmán and Kourí 2004). Over the last decade, dengue …

Short-to-medium term dengue forecast in Singapore
Dengue fever is currently the fastest spreading mosquito-borne disease in the world, and a substantial public health problem due to its geographic spread, intensity, and resulting economic impact. The disease is endemic in Singapore, and has caused multiple outbreaks of unprecedented magnitude in …

Epidemiological Landscapes: The Spaces and Politics of Mosquito Control in Lahore
… in the postcolonial city. Recent outbreaks of dengue fever, chikungunyia, and zika, and the proliferation of insect vectors, in cities in the global South are a reminder of the crucial role of urban environments in the spread and control of infectious diseases. The dangerous intimacies of …

Why Mosquitoes Bite Some People More Than Others: Metabolic Correlates of Human Attraction in AEDES AEGYPTI
… diseases that plague the developing world today: dengue fever and chikungunya, with dengue fever alone resulting in ~400 million total yearly infections, and ~24,000 deaths (Bhatt et al., 2013). Understanding the biology behind Ae. aegypti attraction to humans is critical for developing novel …

Análise da situação epidemiológica da dengue no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, no período de 2016 a 2020
Dengue is an acute febrile and systemic disease that can present a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe, potentially fatal forms. It is an arbovirus transmitted mainly by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and is one of the most important health problems worldwide, causing …

Immunoepidemiological Modeling of Dengue Viral Infection
Dengue viral infection is a mosquito-borne disease with four distinct strains, where the interactions between these strains have implications on the severity of the disease outcomes. The two competing hypotheses for the increased severity during secondary infections are antibody dependent …

Biochemical, molecular and microscopic studies on mosquitoes with special emphasis on Wolbachia infections, diagnostic assessment of Dengue viruses and biological control of Dengue vectors
… of debilitating diseases such as malaria, dengue, yello and west nile fever as well as lymphatic filariasis. The knowledge on the biology of mosquitoes, pathogens and parasites transmitted by them is essential for a better control of both insects and diseases they are transmitting. This …

Modelling Allee effects in a transgenic mosquito population during range expansion
… and morbidity across the globe such as malaria, dengue fever and Zika. As mosquito populations expand their range into new areas, they may undergo mate-finding Allee effects such that their ability to successfully reproduce becomes difficult at low population densities. With new technology, …

Studies on the antibody repertoire in a Dengue virus immune subject and isolation of neutralizing antibodies by phage display technology
Dengue Virus (DENV) is known as the causative agent of Dengue Fever and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever / Dengue Shock Syndrome (DHF/ DSS). Infection with one of the serotypes elicits long-term, homotypic protection but does not protect from the risk of development of DHF/DSS upon subsequent infection …

Exogenously-introduced Homing Endonucleases Catalyze Double-stranded DNA Breaks in Aedes aegypti
… aegypti transmits the viruses which cause yellow fever, dengue fever, and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Homing endonucleases are selfish genetic elements which introduce double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) breaks in a sequence-specific manner. In this study, we aimed to validate a somatic assay to detect …

Dengue Virus Host Factors
<p>Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever are estimated to afflict 50-100 million people annually and are caused by one of the four serotypes of dengue virus. Dengue virus is carried and transmitted to humans by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. Given the broad geographic distribution of Aedes …
