Geographic information system-aided evaluation of epidemiological trends of dengue serotypes in West Bengal, India
CONCLUSIONS: Co-circulation of all the four dengue serotypes was observed in this study, but only one serotype became prevalent during an outbreak. Representation of NS1-positive cases and serotype distribution in GIS mapping clearly showed serotypic shift in co-circulation. The findings of this study suggest the need for stringent surveillance in dengue-endemic areas to limit the impact of dengue and implement better vector-control strategies.PMID:38577856 | PMC:PMC11050753 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1055_23 (Source: Indian J Med Res)

YF17D-based vaccines - standing on the shoulders of a giant
Eur J Immunol. 2024 Apr 3:e2250133. doi: 10.1002/eji.202250133. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLive-attenuated yellow fever vaccine (YF17D) was developed in the 1930s as the first ever empirically derived human vaccine. Ninety years later, it is still a benchmark for vaccines made today. YF17D triggers a particularly broad and polyfunctional response engaging multiple arms of innate, humoral and cellular immunity. This unique immunogenicity translates into an extraordinary vaccine efficacy and outstanding longevity of protection, possibly by single-dose immunization. More recently, progress in molecular virology and synthet...

Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of chikungunya virus among dengue-negative patients in Kolkata, India
by Rajendra Prasad Chatterjee, Aroni Chatterjee, Sabbir Ansari, Shilpa Chatterjee, Shyamalendu Chatterjee, Nilanjan Chakraborty
Dengue and chikungunya are co-circulating vector-borne diseases that share a significant number of clinical symptoms. To identify variables to aid physicians in making rapid and effective diagnostic decisions, we performed molecular diagnosis of the chikungunya virus and examined the clinical mani festations of chikungunya cases to identify the prevalence among dengue-negative individuals in Kolkata. Dengue suspected patients’ samples were collected during January 2020—December 2021 and Enzym...

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in pregnant women in an amazonian region: a large retrospective study from French Guiana
ConclusionThese results highlight the diversity, abundance, and dynamism of emerging and re-emerging infectious agents faced by pregnant women in the Amazon basin. Considering the maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes associated with these infections, increased efforts are required to enhance diagnosis, reporting, and treatment of these conditions.

Detection of dengue in German tourists returning from Ibiza, Spain, related to an autochthonous outbreak, August to October 2022
In February 2023, German public health authorities reported two dengue cases (one confirmed, one probable) and four possible cases who travelled to Ibiza, Spain, in late summer/autumn 2022; the infection was probably acquired through mosquito bites. Case 1 visited Ibiza over 1 week in late August with two familial companions; all three developed symptoms the day after returning home. Only Case 1 was tested; dengue virus (DENV) infection was confirmed by presence of NS1 antigen and IgM antibodies. Case 2 travelled to Ibiza with two familial companions for 1 week in early October, and stayed in the same town as Case 1. Case ...

A high heterozygosity genome assembly of Aedes albopictus enables the discovery of the association of PGANT3 with blood-feeding behavior
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a global invasive species, notorious for its role in transmitting dangerous human arboviruses such as dengue and Chikungunya. Although hematophagous behavior is repu... (Source: BMC Genomics)

Kirigami tripod-based electrode for the development of highly stretchable dengue aptasensor
In this study, the kirigami approach has been utilized to develop a stretchable, movable, and flexible sensor. The constructed stretchable-kirigami electrode helps in adjusting the connection of electrodes without disturbing the electrochemical cell zone during the experiment. To increase the sensitivity of this biosensor we have synthesized Ag-NPs (Silver nanoparticles) via chemical methods and characterized their results with the help of TEM & UV-Vis Spectroscopy. Different electrochemical approaches were used to validate the sensor response i.e., CV (Cyclic voltammetry) and LSV (Linear sweep voltammetry), which exhi...
