Dengue has become a widespread infection over the past few year, extending from endemic to nonendemic areas. Severe dengue infection can lead to death, therefore, clinicians should should aim for ...

Biological scientists have uncovered how the dengue virus uses its envelope protein to capture human plasmin from a blood meal to enhance the permeability of the mosquito midgut for infection.

Preexisting immunity to Zika virus (ZIKV) or dengue virus (DENV) may alter the course of their infection, and here we use robust mouse models to examine pathological outcomes following passive ...

Dengue fever is caused by an arthropod-borne flavivirus and usually presents as a self-limiting febrile illness, but in more severe cases, a high fever, hemorrhaging, and plasma leakage can occur.

Zika virus and dengue virus are very close relatives. Both are mosquito-borne flaviviruses, and both specialize in infecting a host's dendritic cells. But a new Nature Communications study, led by ...
