The challenge of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases

TL;DR: Infectious diseases have for centuries ranked with wars and famine as major challenges to human progress and survival and remain among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dengue Viremia Titer, Antibody Response Pattern, and Virus Serotype Correlate with Disease Severity

TL;DR: Higher peak titers were associated with increased disease severity for the 31 patients with a peak titer identified, and increased dengue disease severity correlated with high viremia titer, secondary d Dengue virus infection, and DEN-2 virus type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of dengue virus: implications for flavivirus organization, maturation, and fusion.

TL;DR: The first structure of a flavivirus has been determined by using a combination of cryoelectron microscopy and fitting of the known structure of glycoprotein E into the electron density map, suggesting that flaviviruses employ a fusion mechanism in which the distal beta barrels of domain II of the glycop Protein E are inserted into the cellular membrane.

Techniques for hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition with arthropod-borne viruses.

TL;DR: A description of the procedures currently in use in The Rockefeller Foundation Virus Laboratories, some of which were initially developed elsewhere; of those developed in this laboratory, most aspects have not been previously reported.

Rapid detection and typing of dengue viruses from clinical samples by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.

TL;DR: The accumulated data demonstrated that dengue viruses can be accurately detected and typed from viremic human serum samples.

Pathogenesis of dengue: challenges to molecular biology

TL;DR: This work has identified a severe syndrome, dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, in Southeast Asian children, which recently has also been identified in children infected with the virus in Puerto Rico.

Research on dengue during World War II.

TL;DR: Dengue research was brought from the field into the laboratory and further progress has been made possible by work on experimental animals instead of on human volunteers, and a great deal more was learned about the basic properties of the dengue viruses.
