lüll Dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever: Indian perspective Chaturvedi UC; Nagar RJ Biosci 2008[Nov]; 33 (4): 429-41The relationship of this country with dengue has been long and intense. The ?rst recorded epidemic of clinically dengue-like illness occurred at Madras in 1780 and the dengue virus was isolated for the ?rst time almost simultaneously in Japan and Calcutta in 1943-1944. After the ?rst virologically proved epidemic of dengue fever along the East Coast of India in 1963-1964, it spread to allover the country.The ?rst full-blown epidemic of the severe form of the illness,the dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome occurred in North India in 1996. Aedes aegypti is the vector for transmission of the disease. Vaccines or antiviral drugs are not available for dengue viruses; the only effective way to prevent epidemic degure fever/dengue haemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) is to control the mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti and prevent its bite. This country has few virus laboratories and some of them have done excellent work in the area of molecular epidemiology,immunopathology and vaccine development. Selected work done in this country on the problems of dengue is presented here.|Aedes/virology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Dengue Vaccines[MESH]|Dengue Virus/immunology/pathogenicity[MESH]|Dengue/diagnosis/*epidemiology/history/virology[MESH]|Disease Outbreaks/history/*prevention & control[MESH]|History, 18th Century[MESH]|History, 19th Century[MESH]|History, 20th Century[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|India/epidemiology[MESH]|Insect Vectors/virology[MESH]|Severe Dengue/diagnosis/*epidemiology/history/virology[MESH] |
