Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years
Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by
mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection,
symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and
a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes
two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to
dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets,
and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously
low blood pressure.
Dengue is spread by several Aides genus
female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes;
infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but
only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different
type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue
vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm
the diagnosis, a number of tests are available, including the detection of
antibodies to the virus or its RNA.
Dengue virus has grown dramatically in the
last 20 years, becoming one of the most dangerous mosquito-borne human
pathogens that tropical countries must contend with. According
to current estimates, up to 390 million dengue infections occur each year, with
many of these infections being asymptomatic or subclinical.
The dengue virus causes dengue fever (DENV). It
is a mosquito-borne, single positive-stranded RNA virus in the Flaviviridae
family, genus Flavivirus. Four serotypes of the virus have been identified,
with a fifth rumored but yet to be confirmed, all of which can cause the full
range of disease. Even though, scientists' understanding of the dengue virus may be
misconstrued, as a dynamic process instead of distinct antigenic groups appears
to exist. The same study discovered 47 different strains of the dengue virus.
Dengue
virus was transmitted in sylvatic cycles between mosquitos of the genus Aides
and nonhuman primates in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia until a few
hundred years ago, with rare emergences into human populations. Dengue virus's
global spread, on the other hand, has coincided with its emergence from
sylvatic cycles, and the primary lifecycle now only involves transmission
between humans and Aides mosquitos. Dengue
vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever. One version, known as CYD-TDV and sold under
the brand name is commercially available as of 2021. The vaccine is only
recommended for people who have previously been infected with dengue fever or
for populations where the majority of people have previously been infected.
