Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, whose incidence and range have been steadily increasing in recent decades. Causing hemorrhagic fever in severe cases, it affects the inter-tropical regions of the world and threatens to spread to new geographical areas. Its complex pathophysiology and the existence of four genetically distant serotypes make vaccine development a challenge. Currently, there is no specific treatment against dengue fever and only a few vaccines are marketed or in development, with some limitations on their use. It is therefore necessary to develop new vaccines and identify new molecules with antiviral properties to reduce the economic and public health burden of this disease in endemic areas.
期刊介绍:
m/s offers high-quality review articles in French, covering all areas of biomedical and health research, in a monthly magazine format (10 issues / year). m/s is read by the whole French-speaking community, in France but also in Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia etc. m/s is not a primary publication, and thus will not consider unpublished data. Most articles are invited by the Editors, but spontaneous proposals are welcomed. Each issue combines news and views on the most recent scientific publications, as well as broadly accessible and updated review articles on a specific topic, and essays on science and society, history of science, public health, or reactions to published articles. Each year, m/s also publishes one or two thematic issues focused on a research topic of high interest. All review articles and essays are peer-reviewed.
