Article Abstract

We determined that the dengue outbreak in São Tomé and Príncipe during 2022 was caused by dengue virus serotype 3 genotype III. Phylogenomic analyses showed that the outbreak strain was closely related to the newly identified GIII-American-II lineage and that the virus probably was introduced from the Americas.

Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of dengue incidence and lethality rates and the proportions of its serotypes, in the different macro-regions of Brazil, between 2001 and 2022. In particular, the immediate and gradual effects of these indicators were verified in the periods before and after the publication of the National Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Dengue Epidemics.

Methods: This was an interrupted time series analysis.

Introduction: Dengue virus (DENV) poses a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, where it is primarily transmitted by spp. mosquitoes. Its biosafety and biosecurity management present unique challenges due to both its vector-borne nature and rare instances of nonvector transmission.

Dengue virus (DENV) is an important arthropod-borne virus that poses a global health threat, with half of the world's population at risk of infection. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective vaccines for its prevention. Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs when cross-reactive antibodies fail to neutralize heterologous DENV serotypes effectively, facilitating viral entry into Fc receptor-bearing cells and leading to more severe disease.

Background: All three dengue vaccines that have completed phase 3 clinical trials have shown greater efficacy in dengue-seropositive compared to dengue-seronegative individuals. This includes the live-attenuated tetravalent dengue vaccine TAK-003, where immunogenicity in baseline seronegative individuals remains lower after two doses, despite seroconversion after the first dose, compared to baseline seropositive individuals after one dose.

Methods: A whole-genome microarray was used to analyze the host response to TAK-003.
