Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate inside a host organism. The four closely related dengue viruses — DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4 — are ...

A reference standard for NAATs can be a panel with a known copy number of RNA targets from all dengue virus serotypes or genotypes from different regions to determine the lower limits of detection ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate inside a host organism. Who discovered the dengue virus? How many types of dengue viruses are there ...

Findings from the research have revealed how various subgroups—what virologists call subtypes—of the dengue virus influence future risk of severe infection. It has been known for years that ...

Zika virus and dengue virus are very close relatives. Both are mosquito-borne flaviviruses, and both specialize in infecting ...

The dengue virus attaches to the surface of a host cell and enters the cell by a process called endocytosis. Once deep inside the cell, the virus fuses with the endosomal membrane and is released ...

Dengue viral infections can result in a range of symptoms. Some people show no symptoms or just have mild signs of the disease, but others develop severe complications. How does the body respond ...

Children who experience multiple cases of dengue virus develop an army of dengue-fighting T cells, according to a new study led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI).

The CDC issued a health alert March 18 regarding dengue outbreaks in the Caribbean and the Americas.  Dengue activity is high in parts of the U.S., and with the spring and summer travel seasons ...

This mosquito-borne disease is caused by four different but closely related dengue virus types: dengue-1, dengue-2, dengue-3, and dengue-4. It is more common in tropical and subtropical climates.
