Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever / Edition 2

by Duane J. Gubler, Eng Eong Ooi, Subhash Vasudevan, Jeremy Farrar

Overview

Continued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. Recent exciting research on dengue has resulted in major advances in our understanding of all aspects of the biology of these viruses, and this updated second edition brings together leading research and clinical scientists to review dengue virus biology, epidemiology, entomology, therapeutics, vaccinology and clinical management.
