AbstractBackgroundSri Lanka experienced the largest ever dengue outbreak in year 2017, which coincided with the shift of the predominant circulating dengue virus (DENV) 1 to DENV2 after 9 years. As it was felt that more patients appeared to develop complications and severe dengue, we compared clinical features of patients with acute dengue, with the previous circulating serotype (DENV1) and also sequenced the new virus, to determine the lineage of the virus.Methodology/Principal findingsWe studied the clinical and laboratory features of 172 adult patients with acute DENV1 (n=79) and DENV2 (n=93) infection. 65 (82.3%) of those with DENV1 and 86 (92.4%) of those with DENV2 were experiencing a secondary infection. The risk of developing dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) was significantly higher (=0.005, odds ratio=2.5) in those infected with DENV2 (54.8%) when compared to DENV1(32.9%), even though similar proportions of patients had a secondary dengue infection. Patients with DENV2 infection developed leakage significantly earlier (p<0.0001, median= 3, days) when compared to those with a DENV1 infection (median 5 days) and were more likely to develop significant bleeding and to require blood transfusions. Furthermore, patients with DENV2 were more likely to have significantly lower platelet counts during day 3, 4 and 5 since onset of illness.Whole genome sequencing showed that these DENV-2 isolates belonged to a cosmopolitan strain and was genetically more distant than the DENV-2 strains that circulated from 1981 to 2004 in Sri Lanka.Conclusions/significanceSince this DENV2 strain appears to cause more severe forms of clinical disease, it would be important to determine variations in the virus genome or other factors that could have contributed to severe disease.Author summarySri Lanka experienced the largest ever dengue outbreak in year 2017, which coincided with the shift of the predominant circulating dengue virus (DENV) 1 to DENV2 after 9 years.

Retrospective Investigation

The first imported case of severe haemorrhagic fever in Sweden was reported in 1990. Despite extensive diagnostic study, no aetiological agent was identified. Following retrospective investigation with total RNA-sequencing of plasma and urine samples collected during between 7 to 36 days from onset of symptoms, we identified dengue virus 3 (DENV-3) and a human pegivirus (HPgV). We conclude that the patient most likely suffered from haemorrhagic symptoms due to a severe dengue infection.

Efforts to determine the mosquito genes that affect dengue virus replication have identified a number of candidates that positively or negatively modify amplification in the invertebrate host. We used deep sequencing to compare the differential transcript abundances in Aedes aegypti 14 days post dengue infection to those of uninfected A. aegypti. The gene lethal(2)-essential-for-life [l(2)efl], which encodes a member of the heat shock 20 protein (HSP20) family, was upregulated following dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) infection in vivo. The transcripts of this gene did not exhibit differential accumulation in mosquitoes exposed to insecticides or pollutants. The induction and overexpression of l(2)efl gene products using poly(I:C) resulted in decreased DENV-2 replication in the cell line. In contrast, the RNAi-mediated suppression of l(2)efl gene products resulted in enhanced DENV-2 replication, but this enhancement occurred only if multiple l(2)efl genes were suppressed. l(2)efl homologs induce the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, and we confirmed this finding in the cell line. However, the mechanism by which l(2)efl phosphorylates eIF2α remains unclear. We conclude that l(2)efl encodes a potential anti-dengue protein in the vector mosquito.

ABSTRACT Dengue is an acute febrile illness caused by dengue virus (DENV) and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The lack of an appropriate small-animal model of dengue infection has greatly hindered the study of dengue pathogenesis and the development of therapeutics. In this study, we conducted mass spectrometry-based serum metabolic profiling from a model using humanized mice (humice) with DENV serotype 2 infection at 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days postinfection (dpi). Forty-eight differential metabolites were identified, including fatty acids, purines and pyrimidines, acylcarnitines, acylglycines, phospholipids, sphingolipids, amino acids and derivatives, free fatty acids, and bile acid. These metabolites showed a reversible-change trend—most were significantly perturbed at 3 or 7 dpi and returned to control levels at 14 or 28 dpi, indicating that the metabolites might serve as prognostic markers of the disease in humice. The major perturbed metabolic pathways included purine and pyrimidine metabolism, fatty acid β-oxidation, phospholipid catabolism, arachidonic acid and linoleic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, lysine biosynthesis and degradation, and bile acid biosynthesis. Most of these disturbed pathways are similar to our previous metabolomics findings in a longitudinal cohort of adult human dengue patients across different infection stages. Our analyses revealed the commonalities of host responses to DENV infection between humice and humans and suggested that humice could be a useful small-animal model for the study of dengue pathogenesis and the development of dengue therapeutics. IMPORTANCE Dengue virus is the most widespread arbovirus, causing an estimated 390 million dengue infections worldwide every year. There is currently no effective treatment for the disease, and the lack of an appropriate small-animal model of dengue infection has greatly increased the challenges in the study of dengue pathogenesis and the development of therapeutics. Metabolomics provides global views of small-molecule metabolites and is a useful tool for finding metabolic pathways related to disease processes. Here, we conducted a serum metabolomics study on a model using humanized mice with dengue infection that had significant levels of human platelets, monocytes/macrophages, and hepatocytes. Forty-eight differential metabolites were identified, and the underlying perturbed metabolic pathways are quite similar to the pathways found to be altered in dengue patients in previous metabolomics studies, indicating that humanized mice could be a highly relevant small-animal model for the study of dengue pathogenesis and the development of dengue therapeutics.

ABSTRACTSeven commercial assays were evaluated to determine their suitability for the diagnosis of acute dengue infection: (i) the Panbio dengue virus Pan-E NS1 early enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), second generation (Alere, Australia); (ii) the Panbio dengue virus IgM capture ELISA (Alere, Australia); (iii) the Panbio dengue virus IgG capture ELISA (Alere, Australia); (iv) the Standard Diagnostics dengue virus NS1 antigen ELISA (Standard Diagnostics, South Korea); (v) the Standard Diagnostics dengue virus IgM ELISA (Standard Diagnostics, South Korea); (vi) the Standard Diagnostics dengue virus IgG ELISA (Standard Diagnostics, South Korea); and (vii) the Platelia NS1 antigen ELISA (Bio-Rad, France). Samples from 239 Thai patients confirmed to be dengue virus positive and 98 Sri Lankan patients negative for dengue virus infection were tested. The sensitivities and specificities of the NS1 antigen ELISAs ranged from 45 to 57% and 93 to 100% and those of the IgM antibody ELISAs ranged from 85 to 89% and 88 to 100%, respectively. Combining the NS1 antigen and IgM antibody results from the Standard Diagnostics ELISAs gave the best compromise between sensitivity and specificity (87 and 96%, respectively), as well as providing the best sensitivity for patients presenting at different times after fever onset. The Panbio IgG capture ELISA correctly classified 67% of secondary dengue infection cases. This study provides strong evidence of the value of combining dengue virus antigen- and antibody-based test results in the ELISA format for the diagnosis of acute dengue infection.

Dengue virus is a mosquito borne Flavivirus and the most prevalent arbovirus in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The incidence of dengue has increased drastically over the last few years at an alarming rate. The clinical manifestation of dengue ranges from asymptomatic infection to severe dengue. Even though the viral kinetics of dengue infection is lacking, innate immune response and humoral immune response are thought to play a major role in controlling the virus count. Here, we developed a computer simulation mathematical model including both innate and adaptive immune responses to study the within-host dynamics of dengue virus infection. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to identify key parameters that would contribute towards severe dengue. A detailed stability analysis was carried out to identify relevant range of parameters that contributes to different outcomes of the infection. This study provides a qualitative understanding of the biological factors that can explain the viral kinetics during a dengue infection.
