Prospects for the Development of a Dengue Vaccine

Journal of Vaccines and Immunology

Research Article
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease which is currently an important and rapid growing health problem across the globe. Four closely related dengue serotypes cause the disease, which ranges from asymptomatic infection to undifferentiated fever, dengue fever (DF), and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Specific antiviral medications are not available for dengue and successful treatment, which is mainly supportive, depends on early recognition of the disease and careful monitoring for shock. Prevention of dengue depends on the control of the mosquito vector which has had only limited success. Development of a dengue vaccine is seen as a new tool to prevent this potentially fatal disease.
