West Nile virus Previously confined to tropical and subtropical climates, the mosquito-borne illness is becoming a much more serious problem along the U.S.-Mexico border and in the commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Dengue occurs sporadically and has had a relatively small impact on the United States thus far, so the amount of dengue-related illness in this country is presently minimal. However, the disease tends to occur in explosive epidemics. Moreover, the NIAID scientists note, efforts to control the populations of mosquitoes that transmit dengue have fallen short of their goal. These trends stimulated Drs. Fauci and Morens to call for more research to understand and combat dengue. "Widespread appearance of dengue in the continental United States is a real possibility," the NIAID scientists write in their commentary. "Worldwide, dengue is among the most important reemerging infectious diseases with an estimated 50 to 100 million annual cases...[and] 22,000 deaths." Public health officials need to take the threat seriously, the scientists assert, because no specific treatments or vaccines for dengue are available. To fight the disease, they state, "The formidable challenges of understanding dengue pathogenesis and of developing effective therapies and vaccines must be met."

DENGUE Tables and Charts: Countries and Territories in which Dengue or Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is Known to Occur AGENT A flavivirus with 4 distinct subgroups. VECTOR DESCRIPTION Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection which in recent years has become a major international public health concern. A more lethal complication, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), was first recognized during the 1950s and is today a leading cause of childhood deaths in many countries. TRANSMISSION Dengue viruses are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitos. Once infected, a mosquito remains infective for life, transmitting the virus to susceptible individuals during probing and blood feeding. Infective female mosquitos may also transmit the virus to the next generation of mosquitos by transovarial transmission. Humans are the main amplifying host of the virus, although studies have shown that in some parts of the world monkeys may become infected and perhaps serve as a source of virus for uninfected mosquitos. The spread of dengue is attributed to expanding geographic distribution of the four dengue viruses and of their mosquito vectors, the most important of which is Aedes aegypti. A rapid rise in urban populations is bringing ever greater numbers of people into contact with the vector mosquito, while poor sanitation in many urban centers and lack of adequate resources for water storage and waste disposal provides more opportunities for mosquito breeding.

This condition occurs when a person catches a different dengue virus after being infected by another type sometime before. Prior immunity to a different dengue virus type plays an important role in this severe disease. Worldwide, more than 100 million cases of dengue fever occur every year. A small number of these develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever. Most infections in the United States are brought in from other countries. It is possible for a traveler who has returned to the United States to pass the infection to someone who has not traveled.

Image: Centers for Disease Control Scientists at a British biotech company said they have evidence that their genetically modified mosquitoes, which are programmed for sudden, early death, can control the spread of dengue fever. Dengue is carried by mosquitoes and is the scourge of urban areas in the developing world, much as malaria is in rural regions. The company, Oxitec , said it can decimate mosquito populations by breeding genetically modified male mosquitoes , then releasing them to mate with wild females. Their offspring contain lethal genes that kill them young, before they can reproduce. Company officials told Wired News that their latest test results show that the genetically modified bugs can breed just as well as wild ones.

While hemorrhagic dengue is increasing in the developing world, the problem is most dramatic in the Americas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC says there's no drug to treat hemorrhagic dengue, but proper treatment, including rest, fluids and pain relief, can reduce death rates to about 1 percent. Mexico's Public Health Department has sent hundreds of workers to the resorts of Puerto Vallarta, Cancún and Acapulco to try to avert outbreaks ahead of the Easter week vacation.

Even classic dengue — known as “bonebreak fever” — can cause severe flulike symptoms, excruciating joint pain, high fever, nausea and rashes. More alarming is that a deadly hemorrhagic form of the disease, which adds internal and external bleeding to the symptoms — is becoming more common. It accounts for one in four cases in Mexico, compared with one in 50 seven years ago, according to Mexico’s Public Health Department.

Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Dengue Fever What is Dengue Fever? Dengue Fever is an illness caused by infection with one of four serotypes of a virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus. Infection with one of these serotypes does not provide cross-protective immunity, so a person living in an area where Dengue Fever transmission occurs can have four dengue fever infections during his or her lifetime. Who gets Dengue Fever? Dengue Fever occurs primarily in tropical areas, including the Caribbean and Mexico in North America. Anyone living in or visiting tropical areas may become ill with Dengue Fever. How is Dengue Fever spread? Dengue Fever is spread through the bite of certain species of mosquitoes, but only if they are infected with the Dengue Fever virus. Capable species of mosquitoes pick up the Dengue Fever infection by biting a human who is ill with Dengue Fever. Two capable mosquito vectors are present in the Americas, including the United States, Aedes aegypti, and Aedes albopictus. Nearly all cases of Dengue Fever which are diagnosed in the United States are a direct result of recent travel to tropical areas outside the United States. What are the symptoms of Dengue Fever?

Comments Dengue Fever - Overview Dengue is the most important mosquito-transmitted viral disease in terms of morbidity and mortality. 'Dengue' is a homonym for the African 'ki denga pepo'. It is the most important mosquito-transmitted viral disease in terms of morbidity and mortality. Dengue fever usually affects people living in tropical regions and it manifests with a sudden episode of high fever. More serious form of Dengue fever is called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) and affects a small proportion of patients who are affected by dengue fever. It is believed that there is a secondary infection by a different dengue virus serotype that leads to the development of DHF. In Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever there is leakage of the plasma and its escape from the blood stream leading to bleeding. Lack of blood clotting is also observed. About 20-30% who suffer from DHF develop shock and this is known as Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS).

37. Dengue dengue fever is intermittently reported from Southeastern Texas. With approximately 150000 deaths annually, dengue is now the tenth leading cause of death http://www3.baylor.edu/~Charles_Kemp/dengue.htm

Back to Infectious Diseases or Refugees Dengue Fever Updated 9/2001 Primary Distribution: East and West Africa, Southeast and East Asia, Pacific Islands, Eastern Australia, Central and South America, Mexico, South Texas, Caribbean Islands - with distribution increasing, especially in urban areas. Dengue fever is intermittently reported from Southeastern Texas. With approximately 150,000 deaths annually, dengue is now the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. There are approximately 80-100 million new cases annually worldwide and approximately 40% of the world's population live in an area at risk for dengue (Chin, 2000; World Health Organization [WHO], 1998; Ericsson, 1998). Agent and Vector: Dengue viruses (DVs) types 1, 2, 3, 4 (Togaviridae, Flavavirus) are transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. There is increasing incidence and prevalence of cocirculation of multiple serotypes. Incubation: 2-10 days. Clinical Findings and Treatment Signs and Symptoms: After the infected mosquito inoculates the host, the virus is replicated in local lymph nodes and within 2-3 days disseminates via the blood to various tissues. The virus circulates for 4-5 days in the infected monocytes, B cells, and T cells. Most patients are viremic at the point of clinical presentation with fever and clear the virus from the blood within a day of breaking the fever.

PubMed Citation Dengue is an important human viral disease transmitted by insects. Although nearly half the world's population is at risk for infection and as many as 100 million cases occur annually, we have no antiviral drugs to treat it and no vaccines to prevent it. A closely related but much more lethal mosquito-borne virus, yellow fever, used to be one of the great scourges among humans. Although yellow fever is now largely controlled by vaccination, many regions are susceptible to a reemergence if the disease is introduced by travelers, and substantial recent problems with vaccine safety will no doubt change vaccination policy. Both dengue and yellow fever are single-stranded RNA viruses in the family Flaviviridae, which includes West Nile virus and

Home Yellow Fever Dengue Japanese encephalitis ... West Nile Virus Dengue Virus Profile The Dengue virus is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and is transmitted to people through the bite of the mosquitos Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus . Dengue virus is now believed to be the most common arthropod-borne disease in the world. Dengue is mainly found in the tropics because the mosquitoes require a warm climate. A major fear of epidemiologists is that the mosquitoes will develop resistance to cooler climates and then be able to infect people in the United States and other temperate climates. The virus is transmitted when a mosquito of the Aedes genus bites an individual infected with dengue virus. The virus in the blood of the infected individual then infects the mosquito and travels from the mosquito's stomach to its salivary glands were the virus multiplies. The virus is then injected into another person when the mosquito injects anticoagulants that prevent blood clotting when the mosquito is feeding. The mosquito remains able to transmit dengue for its entire life. Each year, 100 million people become infected with dengue virus. People first reported the existence of dengue-like disease in 1779 but it was most likely present long before in first appeared in literature. However, the majority of deaths that result from dengue infection result from Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). People who develop DHF have a 5% chance of death but if they go on to develop DSS then the mortality rate can rise as high as 40%.
