Chip developed for rapid detection of dengue fever

Chip developed for rapid detection of dengue fever: A chip (also known as cDNA microarray) has been developed that allows detection of the RNA strand of the dengue fever virus. The genetic information contained in this scientific tool pinpoints the exact serotype of malaria that an infected person or mosquito is carrying.

Vaccines and treatment for dengue virus possible

Vaccines and treatment for dengue virus possible: Researchers have determined the structure of a human monoclonal antibody which, in an animal model, strongly neutralizes a type of the potentially lethal dengue virus.
