Sylvatic dengue viruses share the pathogenic potential of urban/endemic dengue viruses.
Dengue virus (DENV) exists in both sylvatic and urban/ endemic ecotypes (15), and the potential for emergence of sylvatic strains has become a focus of research. Recently Mota and Rico-Hesse (10) attempted to evaluate the pathogenic potential of viruses belonging to different genetic subgroups of DENV serotype 2 (DENV-2). Based on the viremia levels and erythema index profiles of one sylvatic g...
متن کاملPotential of ancestral sylvatic dengue-2 viruses to re-emerge.
Dengue viruses (DENV) are the most important arboviral pathogens in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. DENV transmission includes both a sylvatic, enzootic cycle between nonhuman primates and arboreal mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, and an urban, endemic/epidemic cycle between Aedes aegypti, a mosquito with larval development in peridomestic water containers, and human reserv...
متن کاملEvolutionary relationships of endemic/epidemic and sylvatic dengue viruses.
Endemic/epidemic dengue viruses (DEN) that are transmitted among humans by the mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are hypothesized to have evolved from sylvatic DEN strains that are transmitted among nonhuman primates in West Africa and Malaysia by other Aedes mosquitoes. We tested this hypothesis with phylogenetic studies using envelope protein gene sequences of both endemic/e...
متن کاملDengue viruses – an overview
Dengue viruses (DENVs) cause the most common arthropod-borne viral disease in man with 50-100 million infections per year. Because of the lack of a vaccine and antiviral drugs, the sole measure of control is limiting the Aedes mosquito vectors. DENV infection can be asymptomatic or a self-limited, acute febrile disease ranging in severity. The classical form of dengue fever (DF) is characterize...
متن کاملDengue Viruses and Mononuclear Phagocytes
During the past two decades, dengue viruses have been a major cause of severe illness and death among children in tropical Asia (1). Dengue viruses are mosquito-borne flaviviruses which occur as four antigenically distinct types. Homotypic immunity is thought to be life long, but after a brief period of crossprotection, heterotypic infections occur and are accompanied by secondary-type antibody...
