Singer,Tejpratap Tiwari,Laura Baber,Manuel Amador,Jaime Thirion,Jack Hayes,Calixto Seca,Jorge Mendez,Bernardo Ramirez,Jerome Robinson,Julie A. Rawlings,Vance Vorndam,Stephen H. Waterman,Duane J. Gubler,Gary G. Clark,Edward B. Hayes +19 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the low prevalence of dengue in the United States is primarily due to economic, rather than climatic, factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue fever, Hawaii, 2001-2002.
Paul V. Effler,Lorrin W. Pang,Paul Kitsutani,Vance Vorndam,Michele Nakata,Tracy Ayers,Joe L Elm,Tammy Tom,Paul Reiter,José G. Rigau-Pérez,John Mosely Hayes,Kristin Mills,Mike Napier,Gary G. Clark,Duane J. Gubler +14 more
TL;DR: This outbreak underscores the importance of maintaining surveillance and control of potential disease vectors even in the absence of an imminent disease threat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection-driven evolution of emergent dengue virus.
Shannon N. Bennett,Edward C. Holmes,Maritza Chirivella,Dania M. Rodriguez,Manuela Beltran,Vance Vorndam,Duane J. Gubler,W. Owen McMillan +7 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates viral genetic turnover within a focal population and the potential importance of adaptive evolution in viral epidemic expansion and the role of viral molecular evolution in emergent disease dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increase of leptospirosis in dengue-negative patients after a hurricane in Puerto Rico in 1996 [correction of 1966].
Eduard J. Sanders,José G. Rigau-Pérez,Henk L. Smits,C.C. Deseda,Vance Vorndam,Tin Aye,Richard A. Spiegel,Robbin S. Weyant,Sandra L. Bragg +8 more
TL;DR: The utility of a dengue laboratory-based surveillance system for the detection of an increase of leptospirosis after hurricane-generated floods is demonstrated; knowledge of this diagnosis may significantly reduce morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity and specificity of a universal primer set for the rapid diagnosis of dengue virus infections by polymerase chain reaction and nucleic acid hybridization.
Erik A. Henchal,Stephanie L. Polo,Vance Vorndam,Chandhana Yaemsiri,Bruce L. Innis,Charles H. Hoke +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that RT/PCR using degenerate primers is a sensitive and specific method for the detection of dengue viruses in clinical specimens.
