Brazil has cleared a single dose dengue vaccine as global infections reach a record peak. The move aims to protect high risk regions and control rising cases.
After the first and 2nd clinical trials of the first-ever dengue vaccine was successful, it has now entered the 3rd phase.
Developing vaccines or other prevention therapies through a collective effort from important organisations is critical for dengue management.
Get the latest on the WHO's recent pre qualification of a new dengue vaccine. Stay informed about the newest addition to the global arsenal against dengue, approved for procurement by UN agencies, and its potential impact on public health worldwide.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), no antiviral treatment is available to combat the dengue infection.
In countries that are tropical or subtropical, vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue are more prone to spread. However, India will soon have its own medicine to treat the disease.
India gets approval to manufacture its first dengue vaccine which will significantly reduce the spread of this disease.
Dengue Prevention Tips: Wear full sleeves, use mosquito repellent, remove water from coolers and containers, and water containers should be covered with lids all the time.
With increasing prevalence of dengue fever in India, it becomes important to know about the condition better to prevent its onset in the first place.
The 11 member-countries of the Region--which account for one-fourth of the global population, 58 per cent of the global burden of Plasmodium vivax malaria, and increased risk of dengue and other vector borne diseases in view of the increasing urbanisation and climate change--adopted a resolution to prioritise dengue control and malaria elimination.
In a hypothetical situation if a person gets infected with all four types of virus one-by-one he might gain immunity from dengue.
Earlier, in the year 2016 WHO had recommended the usage of Sanofi's dengue vaccine to control Dengue.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries entered into an agreement with ICGEB to develop a novel dengue vaccine for India.
On Tuesday the dengue vaccines received approval in 14 countries.
The newly licensed dengue vaccine may actually increase the incidence of infections if used in low transmission areas, a team of international researchers has warned.
The world's first dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia, has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to control the spread of dengue globally.
An experimental dengue vaccine can fully protect healthy people who were intentionally infected with a weak form of the dengue virus in a human challenge test, says a study.
The vaccine offers protection against all four sub types of viruses and will be beneficial to India and other tropical countries where dengue is prevalent.
