Dengue Fever

Dengue Fever

Dengue fever is a flu-like viral disease common throughout the tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, mainly in urban and peri-urban areas.  Today, it afflicts an estimated 50 million to 100 million in the tropics (Epstein, 2000).  The virus has four antigenically related serotypes, which are named DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4.  Each dengue serotype is a variation of the flavivrus genus.  Dengue is spread by the aedes aegypti, a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to bite humans.  Currently, there is no vaccine available to prevent dengue.  
	Each type of the dengue virus is re-emerging worldwide, especially in the Western Hemisphere.  Research has shown that several factors are contributing to the resurgence of dengue fever such as uncontrolled urbanization, increased international travel, substandard socio-economical conditions, and finally global warming.  Global warming has shown to be a major contributor to the spread of dengue fever.
	On a molecular level, dengue fever is classified as a flavivirus and appears as a spherical particle, about 40 to 50 nanometers in diameter (www.malarde.pf...).  There is a lipid envelope enclosing a nucleocapsid  core (www.malarde.pf/...).  The dengue virus genome is a single-strand positive sense
