Abstract:
In July 2018, a Japanese traveler returning from Saudi Arabia was diagnosed with dengue. The dengue virus type 2 gene was detected from a whole blood sample. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the strain was clustered with isolates from Singapore and India. Travelers to Saudi Arabia should be cautious about mosquito bites.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
