Investigation of dengue infection in asymptomatic individuals during a recent outbreak in La Réunion (Publications)
asymptomatic dengue infections detected by the presence of anti-dengue IgM antibodies. Only 5.3% of the participants had a recent dengue infection confirmed by RT-PCR. Although the resurgence of dengue in La [...] The number of dengue cases has increased dramatically over the past 20 years and is an important concern, particularly as the trends toward urbanization continue. While the majority of dengue cases are thought [...] La Reunion is very recent (2016), the rate of anti-dengue IgG...
The first molecular detection of <em>Aedes albopictus</em> in Sudan associates with increased outbreaks of chikungunya and dengue (Publications)
Aedes albopictus, originating from Southeast Asia, is an invasive key vector of chikungunya and dengue. This is the first report and molecular characterization of Ae. albopictus from Sudan. Our sequences [...] Republic and La Reunion. Worryingly, this finding associates with a major increase in chikungunya and dengue outbreaks in rural areas of the study region and might be linked to the mosquito's spread across

contribute to differentiating scrub typhus from dengue fever using basic clinical and laboratory parameters, supporting clinical decision making in areas where dengue and scrub typhus are co-endemic in Vietnam [...] BACKGROUND: Dengue fever is highly endemic in Vietnam, but scrub typhus-although recognized as an endemic disease-remains underappreciated. These diseases together are likely to account for more than half [...] burden in Vietnam. Scrub typhus (ST) is a bacterial disease requiring...
