Title: Review of Literature on Dengue Fever in India

Writing a literature review on any topic requires a meticulous approach and an in-depth
understanding of the subject matter. When it comes to a complex issue like Dengue Fever in India,
the task becomes even more challenging. As researchers delve into the existing body of literature,
they must navigate through a vast array of studies, articles, and publications to extract relevant
information and insights.

Dengue Fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection, poses a significant public health concern in India.
The country experiences periodic outbreaks of this disease, leading to substantial morbidity and
mortality. Understanding the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, prevention, and control measures
of Dengue Fever is crucial for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers alike.

A comprehensive literature review on Dengue Fever in India involves synthesizing data from various
sources, including scientific journals, government reports, and academic publications. Researchers
need to critically evaluate the quality and reliability of each source, ensuring that the information
gathered is accurate and up-to-date.

One of the main challenges in writing a literature review on Dengue Fever is the sheer volume of
available literature. Sorting through a vast number of studies and extracting relevant data while
avoiding duplication can be time-consuming and arduous. Additionally, the evolving nature of
scientific research means that new findings and insights emerge regularly, requiring constant
updating of the literature review.

Furthermore, the complexity of the topic itself adds another layer of difficulty. Dengue Fever is
influenced by various factors, including climate change, urbanization, vector control strategies, and
healthcare infrastructure. Analyzing the interplay between these factors and their impact on Dengue
transmission and control in the Indian context requires a multidisciplinary approach and a deep
understanding of epidemiology, entomology, and public health.

The pattern of the last six years shows that dengue cases are unevenly reported throughout the year,
and the cases begin to rise after September and reach a peak in November, to fall thereafter.(HT
PHOTO) Till October 31, 121 dengue cases have been reported. One of the major challenges in
dengue serotyping in Pakistan is the lack of laboratory facilities having such capacities. Information
was obtained using questionnaire and results were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Note that from
the first issue of 2016, this journal uses article numbers instead of page numbers. Objectives were to
determine the level of awareness regarding dengue fever and practice of preventive measures and its
association with socio-demographic factors; and to find out the association between awareness and
practice of preventive measures.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted
among 150 residents of urban slum area, Shaikpet. Few small animal models exist ( Yauch and
Shresta, 2008; Zellweger and Shresta, 2014 ), as rodent cells are generally not permissive to DENV
infection, and each presents significant challenges for use and extrapolation to humans. Aedes

Today’s use: almost exclusively for annotation of gene expression experiments (VB). Methods: A
cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 1000 respondents in Rural and Urban areas of
Salem district, Tamilnadu to evaluate the knowledge, awareness and practices regarding dengue
fever. Umair, M.; Haider, S.A.; Rehman, Z.; Jamal, Z.; Ali, Q.; Hakim, R.; Bibi, S.; Ikram, A.;
Salman, M. By its nature the current evolving DENVs are adept at escaping heterologous
neutralizing antibody and using it as a means to attain high viral load levels and more severe disease
through antibody-dependent enhancement. By contrast, HLA B44, B62, B76, and B77 are
associated with protection against developing clinical disease after secondary dengue infection (
Stephens et al., 2002 ). Virus virulence factors are also associated with severity of disease including
the sequence of specific serotypes causing infection ( Halstead et al., 1983; Morens and Halstead,
1987; Halstead, 1998 ). Measures should be taken to control the aforementioned causes to prevent
disease spread and reduce epidemic flare up. Distant Sites-Tissue Macrophages Following
dissemination of DENV from the skin to the peripheral blood ( Figure 1, Step 5), and other organs in
the body, other populations of specific tissue-resident macrophages are infected with DENV in the
course of disease. Dengue virus is a mosquito borne single positive stranded RNA virus. Of note, the
current study also contributes by whole genome sequencing of a coinfection case “DENV-1 and

to tackle the symptoms and stop the platelet count from falling down further. Hematological data
were available for 144 patients, showing thrombocytopenia (platelet count ? 150,000) in 129 (89%)
cases. This can cause a severe form of dengue fever, called dengue hemorrhagic fever, severe dengue
or dengue shock syndrome. Methods: The study adopted descriptive research design and was
conducted at selected villages of district Bilaspur. Factors that contribute to bleeding include
thrombocytopenia due to decreased platelet survival and, in severe cases, frank disseminated
intravascular coagulation. Therefore, it is much more likely that detection of DENV in the peripheral
blood is a consequence of the egress of infected cells from the skin. Methods: A cross-sectional study
was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice among 510 residents of Ja-Ela
MOH area using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Anti-dengue antibodies in sera can
inhibit this agglutination and the potency of this inhibition is measured in an HI test. Environmental

The DNA 1000 Kit and Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) were
utilized to measure the size of the libraries. This, coupled with the required immune knockouts to
generate infection and disease, makes it difficult to apply knowledge gained in immune deficient
murine systems to the events occurring in human hosts with intact immune systems. Much of the
pathogenesis of dengue disease is thought to be due to activation of the immune system, and these
models do not recapitulate a fully functioning immune system. Dengue vaccine: WHO position

hamper effective viral control and contribute to severe disease through enhanced production of
inflammatory cytokines. Equally important, it offers a reproducible model in which to study the
viral-host interactions and the innate and adaptive immune response to DENV infection. The
following prominent symptoms usually signify the onset of dengue: 1. To circumvent the issue of
infectability, mouse models are genetically modified to be permissive to virus infection, most often
by targeting the IFN system, and by adapting the virus. Sample size of 166 participants; age more
than 18 years residing in rural area were included in the study. One of the most potent outcomes of
neutrophil activation is the release of NETs. Anti-dengue awareness campaigns wereorganized at the
community level with the help of non-government organizations. All nucleic acid detection assays
involve three basic steps: nucleic acid extraction and purification, amplification of the nucleic acid,
and detection and characterization of the amplified product. Dengue virus is a mosquito borne single
positive stranded RNA virus. Moreover, the use of these models requires adaptation of human
dengue strains in order to establish any infection. Platelet transfusions are rarely given, but may be
warranted in patients with severe thrombocytopenia (. Analysis of data from humans infected with
DENV by mosquito bite has established a median intrinsic incubation period of 5.9 days, with 95%
of subjects developing viremia between days 3 and 10 ( Chan and Johansson, 2012 ). Journal of
Cardiovascular Development and Disease (JCDD). As such, immunocompromised mice are a
common model for studying DENV pathogenesis and immunity.
The typical symptoms of dengue fever include pain in bones and muscles, headaches, abdominal
discomfort, vomiting, and nausea. The knowledge about the preventive measures was inadequate
among the rural respondents when compared to that of urban respondents. METHODOOGY: A
descriptive cross sectional observational study was conducted among 100 individuals from rural
population of Gujrat from March to May 2017 and non-probability cluster sampling was done. There

The pattern of the last six years shows that dengue cases are unevenly reported throughout the year,
and the cases begin to rise after September and reach a peak in November, to fall thereafter. Asia in
particular in this century has been pivotal in the evolution of DENV as the location of the first cases
of the more severe form of DENV infection, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), which made its first
appearance in the 1950’s first in the Philippines then in Thailand ( Halstead et al., 1967 ). This event
was a hallmark denoting a change in the severity and pathogenesis of DENV viral-host interactions.
Significant evidence suggests that dengue can induce cross reactive T cell activation, termed T cell
original sin ( Mongkolsapaya et al., 2003; Rothman, 2011 ). Even though there was stiff resistance,
fogging was carried out in all possible manner especially in the vulnerable areas,” a senior officer of
the UT health department’s Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme, wishing anonymity, said.
However, lack of attention and funding of these programs in the 1970s led to re-emergence of A.

and macrophages in the spleen ( Balsitis et al., 2009 ). The infection of Kupffer cells and the
resultant acute inflammation of the immediate area likely contributes to the observed elevation in
liver enzymes ALT and AST ( Fernando et al., 2016 ). The Adaptive Immune Response The adaptive
immune response is composed of both a humoral and a cell mediated component and is absolutely
essential for controlling viral pathogens. The first confirmed dengue hemorrhagic fever outbreak in
Pakistan occurred in 1994. The yellow fever mosquito becomes infected when it takes the blood of a
person infected with the virus. Percentages of categorical variables were computed. They offer better
sensitivity compared to virus isolation with a much more rapid turnaround time. Dengue Virus: This
virus is also known as Flavivirus and they are in spherical and 40-60 mm in diameter. Since then,
epidemics of dengue fever have been reported in the region with increasing frequency and expanding

understanding with application towards developing better drugs and vaccines to treat and prevent
DENV infection. Most of them (88%) were familiar with mosquitoes’ involvement in the
dissemination of diseases like dengue fever. The current study reported a single case of DENV-3
from Peshawar in 2022, which was prevalent in the early 1990s in Pakistan and lasted until 2016.
However, in patients with established intravascular fluid loss, intravenous fluid administration is
recommended. This variation may be due to differences in the sub-genotypes of cosmopolitan, as the
current study sequences belong to the IVA1 clade, while previous sequences belong to the IVB1 and
2 clade. Based on BLAST search, the globally reported sequences of the dengue virus along with the
reference genomes of all DENV genotypes were downloaded from NCBI (, accessed on 14
November, 2022). The perivascular location also facilitates MC-driven modulation of EC function (
Klein et al., 1989; Brown et al., 2011; Kunder et al., 2011 ), and several mast cell specific -mediators
have been shown to promote EC activation ( Compton et al., 1998; Frossi et al., 2004 ), a response
necessary for immune cell recruitment. Mentioned below are some of the preventive tips for dengue:
1. Upon infection the viral genome is delivered to the cytoplasm and translated into one long
polyprotein that is then cleaved by both host and viral specific proteases to yield 10 individual
proteins.
Where appropriate, we have denoted specific subsets with their definitive CD antigens in order to

risk factor for development of more severe disease as discussed in the Introduction: (dengue virus
and clinical spectra). Dendritic cells undergo a maturation program both as a result of macrophage
and mast cell activation-derived signals and also by sensing of danger- or pathogen-associated
molecular patterns. The first case report dates back from 1789 and is attributed to Benjamin rush who
coined the term “break bone fever” because of symptoms of myalgia and etiology and the
transmission by mosquitoes were only deciphered in the 20th century spread globally. All consenting
individuals aged above 18 years and above encountered in selected rural areas interviewed using a
structured, pre-tested questionnaire. Former research in 2017 reported the presence of a DENV-2
cosmopolitan genotype IV (lineage A1) via Sanger sequencing, which bifurcated into two
sublineages (IVA, IVB) also sharing high similarity with Singapore and China isolates. The editorial

Dengue fever is transmitted by bite of female mosquito caused by human viral pathogen that belongs
to the genus Flavivirus of the family Flaviviridae. Given the potency of mast cell activation and the
resultant inflammation and clinical symptoms, targeting vasoactive mast cell mediators such as
histamine or tryptase may have a significant impact of clinical course. The DNA 1000 Kit and

We recently completed a phase I study of 12 healthy adult volunteers using a challenge virus,
DENV-1-LVHC, strain 45AZ5 ( Endy et al., 2020 ). All subjects developed neutralizing antibody to
DENV-1, and 11 of the 12 developed viremia with peak viral loads similar to wild-type DENV
infection. Importantly, the early innate immune response governs the fate and vigor of the
subsequent adaptive immune response ( Fearon and Locksley, 1996 ), which confers the long-term
protection desired from a vaccine. This study indicated that in preventing dengue fever, strategies
must be developed to cultivate prevention practices and increase prevention campaigns using mass
media and focus on areas with low education and knowledge in dengue prevention.
