Dengue (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus. Infection with one of these serotypes provides immunity to only that serotype for life, so persons living in a dengue-endemic area can have more than one dengue infection during their lifetime. DF and DHF are primarily diseases of tropical and sub tropical areas, and the four different dengue serotypes are maintained in a cycle that involves humans and the Aedes mosquito. However, Aedes aegypti, a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans, is the most common Aedes species. Infections produce a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral syndrome to severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease. Important risk factors for DHF include the strain of the infecting virus, as well as the age, and especially the prior dengue infection history of the patient.

Dengue Virus:

Dengue virus is the quintessence which causes a dengue, called a mosquito-borne flavivirus. Dengue virus is a solitary stranded, named as virus which is positive stranded contamination of the family named Flaviviridae, sort Flavivirus. This class joins similarly the West Nile disease, Tick-borne, Yellow Fever Infection, Encephalitis Infection and a couple of diverse infections which may bring about the encephalitis. Dengue virus causes a broad mixed bag of maladies in individuals, from a self-obliged Dengue Fever to a presence undermining issue called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.



Following are four diverse serotypes of the Dengue virus :



Dengue virus-1



Dengue virus-2



Dengue virus-3



Dengue virus-4



A serotype is a gathering of virus’s characterized together taking into account their antigens present on the surface of the infections. The four types mentioned above are diverse strains of DENV that have about 60-80% homology with one another. The real distinction for people lies in unobtrusive contrasts in the surface proteins of the diverse subtypes of dengue. Contamination actuates long-life security against the tainting serotype, yet it gives just a brief while cross defensive resistance against alternate sorts. The main contamination cause for the most part minor ailment, however auxiliary diseases has been accounted for to bring about extreme ailments in both youngsters and grown-ups. It is called Antibody-Dependent Enhancement.



virus da dengue



Dengure virus is a 50-nm infection concealed with lipid film. There are about hundred and eighty duplicates of envelope protein joined to the surface of membrane. The disease has a genome of around eleven thousand bases that encodes a single inconceivable polyprotein that is thusly curtailed into a couple of helper and non-essential created peptides.



RNA genome of dengue virus is in the polluted cell deciphered by the host ribosomes. The consequent polyprotein is in this manner separated by cell and viral proteases at specific affirmation districts. The viral nonstructural proteins use a negative-sense widely appealing to copy the positive-sense genome, which then unites with capsid protein and is packaged into individual virions. Replication of all positive-stranded RNA diseases happens in cozy association with contamination an further provoked in the intracellular film structure. Dengue virus moreover influences such wide corrections of the intracellular layers, which are called replication complex. They seem to contain viral proteins, host cell variables and RNA. The thusly various surrounded adolescent virions are assembled by development of as of late formed nucleocapsids into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, in this manner acquiring a lipid bilayer envelope with the fundamental proteins. The virions full developed in the midst of transport through the acidic framework of trans-Golgi where the M proteins settle in the E proteins in order to thwart changes which are conformational.. Outside of the cell, the particles which are contaminated encounter an impartial pH, which then, propels partition of the pr peptides from the disease particles and creates a fully developed, overwhelming virions and host cell variables. Starting at this moment the cycle is repeated.

I believe it's like malaria and is transmitted by mosquitos.
