The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical structure. It is composed of the viral genome and capsid proteins surrounded by an envelope and a shell of proteins. After infecting a host cell ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only ...

The dengue virus attaches to the surface of a host cell and enters the cell by a process called endocytosis. Once deep inside the cell, the virus fuses with the endosomal membrane and is released ...

dengue fever, West Nile and yellow fever. His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika ...

A deadly disease is on the rise: dengue, a mosquito-borne virus that already affects millions and is spreading even further ...

The dengue virus is transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected mosquito. Only a few mosquito species are vectors for the dengue virus. What is a vector? A vector is a vehicle that carries ...

When an infected mosquito feeds on a person, it injects the dengue virus into the bloodstream. The virus infects nearby skin cells called keratinocytes, the most common cell type in the skin.

Zika virus and dengue virus are very close relatives. Both are mosquito-borne flaviviruses, and both specialize in infecting a host's dendritic cells. But a new Nature Communications study, led by ...

Children who experience multiple cases of dengue virus develop an army of dengue-fighting T cells, according to a new study ...
