Dengue prototype strains are widely used for virological study. The strains presented here have been cultured under different laboratory environments, resulting in accumulating genetic variations. We present the genomes of four serotypes of the dengue prototype strain that were continuously maintained in the laboratory. These genomes contain bases different from those of the original prototype strains in GenBank.

Background & objectives Dengue virus causes frequent outbreaks and epidemics with high morbidity and mortality. It is important to monitor the trends of the dengue virus and its serotypes. We carried out the present work to study the prevalence of the dengue virus and its serotypes in clinically suspected cases of dengue in Rajasthan.

Background: Serology for dengue viruses (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) has been hindered by antibody cross-reactivity, which limits the utility of these tests for surveillance and assessment of sero-status. Our aim was to develop a multiplexed IgG-based assay with increased accuracy to assess the history of previous DENV and ZIKV infections.
Methods: We developed and assessed the analytical performance of a sample-sparing, multiplexed, microsphere-based serological assay using domain III of the envelope protein (EDIII) of DENV serotypes 1-4 and ZIKV, the most variable region between each virus.

Dengue fever (DF) has become a major public health concern in Nepal, with increasing outbreaks in recent years. Transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, this climate-sensitive viral disease presents a significant challenge for healthcare providers and policymakers. Since 2004, Nepal has experienced a sharp increase in DF cases, peaking in 2022 with 54784 cases and 88 deaths.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, with its prevalence expanding due to increased global travel. The dengue virus, the causative agent of dengue fever, often co-circulates in the form of four distinct serotypes. Cross-reactive antibodies generated during a primary infection pose a significant risk during secondary infections with different serotypes, and fully protective vaccines and antiviral drugs are yet to be developed.
