Vaccine. 2008 Jun 13; Authors: Blaney JE, Speicher J, Hanson CT, Sathe NS, Whitehead SS, Murphy BR, Pletnev AG To develop a live attenuated virus vaccine against St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus, two antigenic chimeric viruses were generated by replacing the membrane precursor and envelope protein genes of Dengue virus type 4 (DEN4) with those from SLE with or without a 30 nucleotide deletion in the DEN4 3' untranslated region of the chimeric genome. Chimeric viruses were compared with parental wild-type SLE for level of neurovirulence and neuroinvasiveness in mice and for safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy in rhesus monkeys. The resulting viruses, SLE/DEN4 and SLE/DEN4Delta30, had greatly reduced neuroinvasiveness in immunodeficient mice but retained neurovirulence in suckling mice. Chimerization of SLE with DEN4 resulted in only moderate restriction in replication in rhesus monkeys, whereas the presence of the Delta30 mutation led to over-attenuation. Introduction of previously described attenuating paired charge-to-alanine mutations in the DEN4 NS5 protein of SLE/DEN4 reduced neurovirulence in mice and replication in rhesus monkeys. Two modified SLE/DEN4 viruses, SLE/DEN4-436,437 clone 41 and SLE/DEN4-654,655 clone 46, have significantly reduced neurovirulence in mice and conferred prot ...

Related Articles Susceptibility of immature stages of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti; vector of Dengue and chikungunya to insecticides from India. Parasitol Res. 2008 Apr;102(5):907-13 Authors: Tikar SN, Mendki MJ, Chandel K, Parashar BD, Prakash S Susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to some insecticides in different geographic areas was conducted during Dengue and chikungunya outbreak. At present, the only method of preventing Dengue and chikungunya is to control the vector, which is the weakest link in vector-borne diseases. In our study, the susceptibility of A. aegypti collected from urban areas of Delhi, Mumbai, Jodhpur, Chennai and Coimbatore was evaluated against temephos, fenthion, malathion and DDT. The A. aegypti from different locations exhibited 0.33-7.11, 0.36-3.00, 0.65-2.84 and 2.16-20.8 fold more lethal concentration value of 50% (LC50) to temephos, fenthion, malathion and DDT, respectively, compared to susceptible reference strain. The result reveals that A. aegypti from various locations studied are still susceptible to temephos, fenthion and malathion, whereas low level of DDT resistance was noticed in field-collected A. aegypti. Amongst the insecticides tested, temephos was found to be relatively more effective in controlling A. aegypti, followed by fenthion, malathion and DDT.

Related Articles Seasonality, Annual Trends, and Characteristics of Dengue among Ill Returned Travelers, 1997-2006. Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 Jul;14(7):1081-1088 Authors: Schwartz E, Weld LH, Wilder-Smith A, von Sonnenburg F, Keystone JS, Kain KC, Torresi J, Freedman DO, We examined seasonality and annual trends for Dengue cases among 522 returned travelers reported to the international GeoSentinel Surveillance Network. Dengue cases showed region-specific peaks for Southeast Asia (June, September), South Central Asia (October), South America (March), and the Caribbean (August, October). Travel-related Dengue exhibited annual oscillations with several epidemics occurring during the study period. In Southeast Asia, annual proportionate morbidity increased from 50 Dengue cases per 1,000 ill returned travelers in nonepidemic years to an average of 159 cases per 1,000 travelers during epidemic years. Dengue can thus be added to the list of diseases for which pretravel advice should include information on relative risk according to season. Also, Dengue cases detected at atypical times in sentinel travelers may inform the international community of the onset of epidemic activity in specific areas.
