Introduction

Dengue viruses, a family of four distinct serotypes of viruses (Den 1,2,3,4), are single-strained, enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses. The viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes of the daytime-bitting Stegemyia family, principally Aedes aegypti, and Aedes albopictus. Today, more than 2.5 billion people living in the areas of tropical Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas are at risk for dengue infection. An estimated 100 million cases of dengue fever and 250,000 cases of life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever occur annually on a worldwide basis.
Serological detection of IgG/IgM antibody is the most common method for the diagnosis of dengue virus infection.
