Recent Advances in Dengue

Dear Colleagues,

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide. The disease significantly impacts global health. There has been a frightening increase in the number of dengue cases, from 505,430 in 2000 to 5.2 million in 2019, with about half of the world's population being at risk. Dengue causes a broad spectrum of diseases, ranging from subclinical to severe illnesses. Severe dengue is a leading cause of serious complications, including severe bleeding, organ impairment, plasma leakage, and death. Currently, there is no specific treatment for dengue. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a road map for the period of 2021–2030, with the global target for dengue control being to reduce preventable dengue deaths to zero and to reduce dengue incidence by 25%.  In line with the global targets, this Special Issue aims to provide coherent and comprehensive insights on updates on dengue research to continue the battle against dengue and to prepare for future outbreaks.

In this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of reviews or original research articles on the following scopes:

1. Dengue pathogenesis—virus–host interactions;
2. Dengue virology;
3. Dengue diagnosis and biomarkers;
4. Dengue vaccines and Immunology;
5. Dengue antiviral research and development;
6. Dengue epidemiology and climate change;
7. Dengue vector control and surveillance;
8. Severe dengue and clinical management.
