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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
