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 ...

Now, researchers at Leiden University, led by principal investigator Alireza Mashaghi, have developed a groundbreaking tool: the first-ever model of dengue virus disease on a chip. This small but ...

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 ...

Antibody (Ab)-dependent enhancement of infection occurs when preexisting antibodies present in the body from a primary (first) dengue virus (DENV) infection bind to an infecting DENV particle ...

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 fever, West Nile and yellow fever. His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika ...
