Dengue

EPI Researcher discovers that people who have developed immunity against dengue virus have built-in protection against infection from the Zika virus.

UF medical geography and EPI researchers recently participated in a study that successfully predicted dengue fever outbreaks on the Caribbean island of Barbados, using climate data.

For many viruses, contracting the pathogen can have a silver lining: The subsequent antibodies confer immunity against future infection.

EPI Investigators publish paper on the social and spatial ecology of dengue in an Ecuadorean outbreak.

Study findings could aid in interrupting transmission chains and reducing severe illness

New research co-authored by UF EPI’s Dr. Sadie Ryan and graduate student Cat Lippi sheds light on the climate suitability for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitos and transmission rates of Zika, chikungunya, and dengue fever.

University of Florida scientists presented new research Sunday outlining ways to prevent the spread of the Zika and dengue viruses through the development of a Zika vaccine and a focus on spraying indoors to control mosquitoes.

Dr. Derek Cummings’ research in Southeast Asia found that temperature spikes during El Niño led to a higher incidence of dengue infection

The first approved dengue vaccine may increase the incidence of more severe disease if used in populations with low dengue transmission.
