Summary
Dengue infection trends in India from 2014-2023 show significant outcome diversity. Early detection of dengue is crucial for public health strategies in India.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Dengue infection poses a significant global health and mortality challenge.
- Understanding dengue infection trends in India is critical for effective public health interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the current trends of dengue infection in India.
- To analyze incidence, prevalence, sero-prevalence, cost-effectiveness, and mortality rates from 2014 to 2023.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted across various internet databases.
- 127 studies published between 2014 and 2023 on dengue infection in India were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Analysis revealed significant heterogeneity across reported outcomes in dengue infection studies.
- The data indicates variability in incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates over the 10-year period.
Conclusions:
- Public health strategies in India must prioritize the early detection of dengue infection.
- Addressing the heterogeneity in dengue data is essential for robust national health planning.

01:25Arboviral Encephalitis
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...
01:29Malaria
Malaria pathogenesis in humans reflects a delicate interplay between parasite biology and host response. Clinical illness reflects a host’s immune response to the parasite’s asexual replication cycle, which is often asymptomatic in individuals with partial immunity. From the parasite's perspective, transmission between mosquito and human with minimal host pathology is evolutionarily advantageous. Among the six Plasmodium species infecting humans, P. falciparum and P. vivax dominate in global...
