Journal ArticleDOI
Tropism of dengue virus in mice and humans defined by viral nonstructural protein 3-specific immunostaining.
Scott J. Balsitis,Josefina Coloma,Glenda Castro,Aracely Alava,Diana Flores,James H. McKerrow,P. Robert Beatty,Eva Harris +7 more
TL;DR: DENV2 nonstructural protein 3-specific immunostaining supports roles for infected phagocytes, hepatocytes, and, to a limited degree, endothelial cells in the pathogenesis of severe dengue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence based community mobilization for dengue prevention in Nicaragua and Mexico (Camino Verde, the Green Way): cluster randomized controlled trial
Neil Andersson,Neil Andersson,Elizabeth Nava-Aguilera,Jorge Arosteguí,Arcadio Morales-Pérez,Harold Suazo-Laguna,José Legorreta-Soberanis,Carlos Hernández-Alvarez,Ildefonso Fernández-Salas,Sergio Paredes-Solís,Angel Balmaseda,Antonio Juan Cortés-Guzmán,René Serrano de los Santos,Josefina Coloma,Robert J. Ledogar,Eva Harris +15 more
TL;DR: Evidence based community mobilization can add effectiveness to dengue vector control as each site implementing the intervention in its own way has the advantage of local customization and strong community engagement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angel Balmaseda,Katherine Standish,Juan Carlos Mercado,Juan Carlos Matute,Yolanda Tellez,Saira Saborio,Samantha N. Hammond,Andrea Nuñez,William Avilés,Matthew R. Henn,Edward C. Holmes,Edward C. Holmes,Aubree Gordon,Josefina Coloma,Guillermina Kuan,Eva Harris +15 more
TL;DR: This large-scale cohort study of dengue in the Americas demonstrates year-to-year variation of d Dengue within a pediatric population, revealing expected patterns in transmission while highlighting the impact of interventions, climate, and viral evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue: knowledge gaps, unmet needs, and research priorities.
TL;DR: Current knowledge and recent insights into dengue epidemiology, immunology, and pathogenesis, and their implications for understanding natural infection and current and future vaccines are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study investigated prospective pediatric cohorts in Nicaragua that experienced sequential DENV1 to -3, Zika (2004 to 2015), Zika (2016 to 2017), and DENV2 (2018 to 2020) epidemics and found that prior immunity to Zika virus increases the risk of severe dengue disease via cross-reacting antibodies.
