Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Dengue fever is caused by several related viruses (four different arboviruses) and is transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes, most commonly Aedes aegypti, found in tropic and subtropic regions. Dengue fever presents with sudden onset of a high fever , often to 104 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, headache , and slightly later the appearance of severe joint and muscle pains . A flat (macular) red blanchable rash may appear over most of the body early during the fever. A second rash, measles-like in appearance, appears later in the disease. Infected people may have increased skin sensitivity and are very uncomfortable. Dengue fever is being seen more in world travelers. It is generally self-limited and although uncomfortable is not fatal. Diagnosis may depend on a traveler telling his or her health care worker of any visits to areas of the world where dengue fever is

Extractions: Brandeis University Waltham, MA A new study of the disease burden of dengue fever in Malaysia strengthens the case for development of a vaccine against the mosquito-borne illness. Despite the nation's efforts at treatment and control, 10,000 cases are reported each year at a l cost of almost $13 million, slightly less than half for vector control and the rest for treating hospitalized patients with dengue fever, an often painful and sometimes fatal virus. These costs are equivalent to 940,000 lost workdays of output, said lead author Professor Donald Shepard, a health economist at Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management. In contrast, a prior study by Shepard and other researchers found that a dengue vaccine, if development proceeds as hoped, would offset 87 percent of treatment costs for all of Southeast Asia, as well as reduce the cost of vector control with fumigants and insecticides. In effect, a vaccine made widely available would cost only marginally more than current treatment and control efforts, but with dramatic gains in public health and economic output.

Scientists, with the help of local children, have been placing the bug into water tanks where the mosquitoes which carry the disease breed. The scheme reduced the cases of dengue fever to zero in nine areas of north and central Vietnam over a five-year period, the Lancet said. The disease infects 50 million people a year, killing 12,000. It is most commonly found in tropical areas of Africa, South America, the east Mediterranean, south east Asia and countries in the western Pacific. It starts off as a flu-like illness but without the proper support it can develop into a deadly fever. I think it is an excellent scheme and has the potential to be used in other areas of the world where dengue fever is found

Interestingly, the variant was not associated with protection from the related dengue hemorrhagic fever, suggesting a different role for this gene in the development of these two diseases. This gene mediates the attachment of the dengue virus receptor to human cells and is required for successful infection. Author Contact: Cecile Julier (Institut Pasteur, Paris, France)

Extractions: INSECT SCIENCE AT BOSTON COLLEGE WHAT ARE DENGUE FEVER AND DENGUE HEMORRAGHIC FEVER? Dengue fever is a febrile illness caused by an RNA flavivirus that is spread by the bites of mosquitoes. The symptoms of dengue include fever, headache, rash, severe pains in the muscles and joints, and pain behind the eyes. The severe muscle pains have led some to call the disease "break bone fever". Whereas dengue fever is rarely fatal, dengue hemorraghic fever is a severe disease that leads to death in approximately 5% of cases. Individuals with dengue hemorraghic fever suffer an increase in vascular permeability, causing them to lose plasma; if untreated, this loss of plasma can lead to a dangerous drop in fluid volume (known as dengue shock syndrome ) and death. Dengue hemorraghic fever is seen most often in children younger than 15 years old. It is also seen most often in individuals who were previously infected with simple dengue fever.

Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Dengue Fever is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Dengue Fever is an acute viral infection characterized by fever. It is caused by a bite from mosquitoes carrying dengue virus. The primary form of Dengue Fever is characterized by a skin rash and a high fever with severe pain in the head and muscles. Other symptoms may include shaking chills, diarrhea, and vomiting. Bouts of extreme exhaustion may last for months after the initial symptoms. The secondary forms of this disorder are called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome. These usually are caused by a secondary infection with a different type of Dengue virus (Type 2), but may also be caused by the same virus that causes Dengue Fever. Several days after onset other symptoms may include fever, bleeding under the skin, red spots on the legs, and bleeding into the intestines. A marked fall in blood pressure (shock) occurs in very severe cases.

Extractions: Home Netting Project Netting Info More Nets ... Helpful Links Dengue is primarily a disease of the tropics, and the viruses that cause it are maintained in a cycle that involves humans and Aedes aegypti , a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans. Infection with dengue viruses produces a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral syndrome to severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease. Important risk factors for dengue hemorrhagic fever include the strain and serotype of the infecting virus, as well as the age, immune status, and genetic predisposition of the patient. The first reported epidemics of dengue fever occurred in 1779-1780 in Asia, Africa, and North America; the near simultaneous occurrence of outbreaks on three continents indicates that these viruses and their mosquito vector have had a worldwide distribution in the tropics for more than 200 years. During most of this time, dengue fever was considered a benign, nonfatal disease of visitors to the tropics. Generally, there were long intervals (10-40 years) between major epidemics, mainly because the viruses and their mosquito vector could only be transported between population centers by sailing vessels. A global pandemic of dengue began in Southeast Asia after World War II and has intensified during the last 15 years. Epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) are more frequent, the geographic distribution of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has expanded, and dengue hemorrhagic fever has emerged in the Pacific region and the Americas. In Southeast Asia, epidemic dengue hemorrhagic fever first appeared in the 1950s, but by 1975 it had become a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children in many countries in that region.

Clinical symptoms range from mild fevers, to a severe and potentially life threatening haemorrhagic disease. Source reduction of the breeding habitats of the major mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti , is the best form of control. Natural History The normal cycle of dengue infection is considered to be human - mosquito - human. From feeding on an infected and viraemic human, the female mosquito is able to transmit the dengue virus after an incubation period of 8-10 days wherein virus infection, replication and dissemination result in infection of the salivary glands making the mosquito infective for life. In Australia epidemics of dengue occurred in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Australia was considered to be free of local dengue following 1955 (when there had been a large outbreak in Townsville), but in 1981 a major outbreak with an estimated 3,000 infections occurred in northern Queensland, presumably initiated by an infected traveller. In Australia, there are three possible vectors:
