Journal ArticleDOI
Do escape mutants explain rapid increases in dengue casefatality rates within epidemics
TL;DR: It is believed that theses increases can be explained by the hypothesis that some of the population of antibodies against dengue 1 virus raised after natural primary infections react with "neutralisation" determinants found on d Dengue 2 viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue haemorrhagic fever integral hypothesis: confirming observations, 1987–2007
María G. Guzmán,Gustavo Kourí +1 more
TL;DR: Observations in the last 20 years confirm the importance of this multifactorial and unifying view of the problem, where the interaction between the host, the virus and the vector in an epidemiological and ecosystem setting might determine DHF as a final outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intersectoral coordination in Aedes aegypti control. A pilot project in Havana City, Cuba.
Lizet Sánchez,D Perez,Thierry Perez,T Sosa,G Cruz,Gustavo Kourí,Marleen Boelaert,P. Van der Stuyft +7 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress in adult dengue patients.
Lizette Gil,Gregorio Martínez,Rolando Tápanes,Osvaldo Castro,Daniel González,Lidice Bernardo,Susana Vázquez,Gustavo Kourí,María G. Guzmán +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the alteration in redox status could result of increased oxidative stress and it may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
El dengue y el dengue hemorrágico: prioridades de investigación
TL;DR: The most up-to-date information on dengue is summarized, current epidemiologic trends in the Region of the Americas are analyzed, the main global and Western Hemisphere initiatives to control the disease are discussed, and the main areas of research that should be developed in the immediate future are presented.
