Dengue hemorrhagic fever caused by sequential dengue 1-3 virus infections over a long time interval: havana epidemic, 2001-2002
Mayling Alvarez,Rosmari Rodriguez-Roche,Lidice Bernardo,Susana Vázquez,Luis Morier,Daniel González,Osvaldo Castro,Gustavo Kourí,Scott B. Halstead,María G. Guzmán +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, neutralizing antibody studies on sera from 54 of 78 DHF/DSS patients that provide evidence of infections occurring in the sequence DENV-1 followed by DENV -3.
Improved Dengue Virus Plaque Formation on BHK21 and LLCMK 2 Cells: Evaluation of Some Factors
TL;DR: Under optimal conditions, PRNT was highly reproducible and is recommended for seroepidemiological and vaccine studies using either BHK21 or LLCMK 2 cells and this communication highlights the infection of LLC MK 2 cell suspensions for measuring neutralizing antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue virus type 2 in Cuba, 1997: conservation of E gene sequence in isolates obtained at different times during the epidemic
Rosmari Rodriguez-Roche,Mayling Alvarez,T.S. Gritsun,Delfina Rosario,Scott B. Halstead,Gustavo Kourí,Ernest A. Gould,María G. Guzmán +7 more
TL;DR: The results showed total conservation of the E gene sequence for these isolates suggesting that the selection of envelope gene escape mutants was not the determinant of increased disease severity, suggesting that this “American/Asian” genotype has gradually dispersed across the Caribbean region during the past 5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation in mice of the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a tetravalent subunit vaccine candidate against dengue virus.
Laura Lazo,Alienys Izquierdo,Edith Suzarte,Lázaro Gil,Iris Valdés,Ernesto Marcos,Mayling Alvarez,Yaremis Romero,María G. Guzmán,Gerardo Guillén,Lisset Hermida Cruz +10 more
TL;DR: In this study, the immunogenicity of a tetravalent vaccine formulation using aluminum hydroxide as adjuvant was evaluated in mice and partial but statistically significant protection was found to have been achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical performance evaluation of five commercial IgM tests for diagnostic of Zika virus infection
Didye Ruiz,Carlos M Torres,Mayling Alvarez,Pedro A. Martínez,Naifi Calzada,Lianna M Garcia,Maria G. Guzmán +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, certainty, an available and sustainable surveillance for risk individual groups to ZIKV infection it is necessary and serological methods offer a good alternative.
