Exploring the origin and potential for spread of the 2013 dengue outbreak in Luanda, Angola
INTRODUCTION: Dengue in Africa is underreported. Simultaneous reports of travellers with dengue returning from Luanda, Angola, to six countries on four continents suggest that a major dengue outbreak is currently occurring in Angola, South West Africa. METHODS: To identify the origin of the imported dengue virus, we sequenced the virus from Angola and investigated the interconnectivity via air travel between dengue-endemic countries and Angola. R…
DengueTools: Innovative tools and strategies for the surveillance and control of dengue
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease estimated to cause about 230 million infections worldwide every year, of which 25,000 are fatal. Global incidence has risen rapidly in recent decades with some 3.6 billion people, over half of the world's population, now at risk, mainly in urban centres of the tropics and subtropics. Demographic and societal changes, in particular urbanization, globalization, and increased international travel, are m…
Dengue, Urbanization and Globalization: The Unholy Trinity of the 21st Century
Dengue is the most important arboviral disease of humans with over half of the world's population living in areas of risk. The frequency and magnitude of epidemic dengue have increased dramatically in the past 40 years as the viruses and the mosquito vectors have both expanded geographically in the tropical regions of the world. There are many factors that have contributed to this emergence of epidemic dengue, but only three have been the princip…
Dengue in Southeast Asia: Epidemiological Characteristics and Strategic Challenges in Disease Prevention
Dengue emerged as a public health burden in Southeast Asia during and following the Second World War and has become increasingly important, with progressively longer and more frequent cyclical epidemics of dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever. Despite this trend, surveillance for this vector-borne viral disease remains largely passive in most Southeast Asian countries, without adequate laboratory support. We review here the factors that may have…

The emergence of epidemic dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever in the Americas: A case of failed public health policy
A global pandemic of dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) began in Southeast Asia during World War II and in the years following that conflict (1).In the last 25 years of the 20th century the pandemic intensified, with increased geographic spread of both the viruses and the principal mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti.This led to larger and more frequent epidemics and to the emergence of DHF as tropical countries and regions became hy…
Guidelines on the cost-effectiveness of larval control programs to reduce dengue transmission in Puerto Rico
Guidelines such as the ones that we developed for Puerto Rico can be useful to public health authorities in helping to decide whether or not to spend resources for a larval control program to reduce dengue transmission. The range of larval control interventions that are cost-effective can be increased by having an early warning system that provides even a small amount of information regarding possible outbreaks
Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
Dengue fever, a very old disease, has reemerged in the past 20 years with an expanded geographic distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito vectors, increased epidemic activity, the development of hyperendemicity (the cocirculation of multiple serotypes), and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in new geographic regions. In 1998 this mosquito-borne disease is the most important tropical infectious disease after malaria, with an estim…
