The virus and the disease it causes are explored by biomedical researchers, mostly in the US but also elsewhere, including tropical regions where dengue is endemic. An introductory chapter sets the research reports in the context of the disease's past and future, and hopes for its control and eradication in the future. Others cover replication, pathogenesis and host immunity, epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics, and strategies for disease control. Among specific topics are translation and processing of the dengue virus polyprotein, host and virus determinants of susceptibility and dengue disease severity, modulation of the anti-viral response by dengue virus, interactions between the virus and mosquitoes, the emergence of the virus form its sylvatic cycle, prospects and challenges for vaccine development, and progress in passive immunotherapy.
