We all know that there is no known immunity or vaccine against Dengue, but we also know that it is a possibility waiting to become a reality. The CIGB project might just be the answer we are all looking for. In coordination with Mayra Mune, a molecular immunologist has evaluated the use of recombinant protein found in yeast Pichia pastor. This can be the key in developing a vaccine as it is observed that there is a rise both in neutralizing antibodies against dengue as well as other tropical viruses. If this pursues, the world can say goodbye to one of its serial killers.
Dengue viruses may be introduced into areas by travelers who become infected while visiting tropical urban areas of the world where dengue commonly exists. Where Aedes aegypti (sometimes also Aedes albopictus) mosquitoes live, outbreaks of dengue occur. Dengue virus serotypes are now present in almost all the American Region. It was reported that DEN-3 was reintroduced into Central America in 1994 and is now found in several countries in the region. This serotype has been absent from the Americas for almost 20 years and because of this, the population has a low level of immunity and the virus is expected to spread rapidly.

Dengue is brought by a virus named Aedes (Stegomyia) found to be innate in mosquitoes. Over the past 20 years, there has been massive inflation with regards to the frequency of dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), among other classifications. Because of this, the World Health Organization reported in 1996 that the re-emergence of infectious diseases was a warning that progress achieved so far towards global security in terms of health and prosperity may be wasted. It also furthered that infectious diseases range from those occurring in tropical areas and most especially those among urban poor zones.

Dengue (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are infections found in humid and sub tropical countries or areas. A cycle is maintained involving humans and the Aedes mosquito with four different dengue serotypes. The virus is caused by one of four closely related of the genus Flavivirus. Disease with one of these serotypes presents protection to only that of serotype for life. Persons who live within the dengue-endemic area can have in excess of dengue infection throughout their existence or lifetime. These infections are producing a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral syndrome to ruthless and fatal hemorrhagic disease.
In Florida, a program was the designed for a dengue information for all 67 county health department epidemiologists to be distributed to hospital emergency rooms, clinics, health departments, and infectious disease physicians in the county. Information on case reporting, the dengue case definition, specimen requirements and transport instructions, and a dengue case investigation form is included in the letter of information. There will be a free testing on state laboratory of specimens from patients with suspected dengue were forwarded to the state laboratory for free testing. In cases where specimens were tested at commercial laboratories only, dengue antibody-positive results were forwarded to county health departments and to the state laboratory for inclusion in this study. In Florida, dengue testing is offered only by the state laboratory and some commercial clinical laboratories.
Mosquito coils and electric vapor mats are effective products to get rid of mosquitoes especially during rainy season, just after sunrise and/or in the afternoon hours before sunset. Mosquito nets are also effective guard over sleeping places which can protect small children and others who are resting during the day. The usefulness of such nets can be improved by treating them with permethrin (a parathyroid insecticide). Curtains can also be treated with insecticide and hung at windows or doorways, thus, repelling or killing mosquitoes. Meanwhile, mosquito repellents or lotions can be applied to exposed parts of the body where mosquitoes bite. Screens on windows and doorways as well, are effective protection against the entry of mosquitoes in homes.
Macau is one of the most visited cities in the world today. And since visitors and workers arriving each day from different parts of the country, no wonder why some get sick on a regular basis, according to the coordinator of the control of infectious diseases in Macau. By and large, foreign workers and tourist becomes affected of dengue virus. This is caused whenever there is a current rise in temperature within Macau. The verdict, Aedes mosquitoes, which carries the germ are widespread in tropical climates. These mosquitoes are active during the day and once bitten, you’ll feel weak, therefore, transferring the disease among humans.
Dengue has been an uncontrolled complaint especially during summer and rainy season. We all know that Dengue Fever is a flu-like sickness that has several verifying uniqueness. More often than not, this disease have an effect on children and youth, and is even much fatal when taken for granted. A number of symptoms comprises of high fever, brutal headache, soreness of the eyes, muscle and joint pains as well as rashes. A person can catch a dengue fever if they are exposed to one serotype. Whenever someone has recovered from Dengue during it’s first hit, the patient somehow turns out to be immune to this single serotype. Upon a second infection, the patient have the possibility to get a big chance of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever which is more deadly.
