TLDR
This dengue-2-virus-infected mouse system accompanied by thrombocytopenia and anti-platelet antibody will be a valuable model to study the pathogenicity of d Dengue virus infection.
Abstract
Dengue virus infection causes dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. No animal model is available that mimics these clinical manifestations. In this study, the establishment is reported of a murine model for dengue virus infection that resembles the thrombocytopenia manifestation. Dengue-2 virus (dengue virus type 2) can infect murine cells either in vitro (primary cell culture) or in vivo. Viraemia detected by RT-PCR was found transiently at 2 days after intravenous injection of dengue-2 virus. Transient thrombocytopenia developed at 10-13 days after primary or secondary infection. Anti-platelet antibody was generated after dengue-2 virus infection. There was strain variation in dengue-2 virus infection; the A/J strain was more sensitive than BALB/c or B6 mice. This dengue-2-virus-infected mouse system accompanied by thrombocytopenia and anti-platelet antibody will be a valuable model to study the pathogenicity of dengue virus infection.

Immunity to dengue virus: a tale of original antigenic sin and tropical cytokine storms

TL;DR: An increased understanding of the adaptive immune response to natural d Dengue virus infection and candidate dengue vaccines has helped to define the specific antibody and T cell responses that are associated with either protective or pathological immunity during dengued infection.

Immunopathogenesis of dengue virus infection

TL;DR: Dengue-virus-induced vasculopathy and coagulopathy must be involved in the pathogenesis of hemorrhage, and the unbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis activation increases the likelihood of severe hemorrhage in DHF/DSS.

Murine Model for Dengue Virus-Induced Lethal Disease with Increased Vascular Permeability

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that D2S10 causes a more relevant disease in mice and that TNF-α may be one of several key mediators of severe DEN-induced disease in mouse, and it begins to provide mechanistic insights into DEN- induced disease in vivo.

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.

Isolation of a Singh's Aedes albopictus cell clone sensitive to Dengue and Chikungunya viruses.

TL;DR: The C6/36 clone became resistant to Chikungunya virus, but not to DEN or Sindbis viruses, after incubation with the medium used for another A. albopictus cell line (SAAK), suggesting the transfer of the specific resistance to CHIK may be mediated by some latent virus related to CHik.

Dengue Virus Structural Differences That Correlate with Pathogenesis

TL;DR: A method for comparing dengue type 2 genomes (reverse transcriptase PCR in six fragments) directly from patient plasma is developed to better reflect the true composition of viral RNA populations in the natural host and permit their association with pathogenesis.
