The [[yellow fever]] [[vaccine]] (YF-17D) is a related Flavivirus, thus the [[chimera|chimeric]] replacement of yellow fever vaccine with dengue has been often suggested but no full scale studies have been conducted to date.<sup>[http://www.jem.org/cgi/content/full/203/2/413]</sup>
In 2002 the Swiss pharmaceutical company [http://www.novartis.com Novartis] and the Singapore Economic Development board created the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases [http://www.nitd.novartis.com (NITD)].  NITD is a public-private partnership that researches neglected tropical diseases.  NITD's dengue unit is researching an anti-viral drug to treat or prevent dengue fever.
In 2006, a group of Argentine scientists directed by Andrea Gamarnik discovered the molecular replication mechanism of the virus, which could be attacked by disruption of the [[RNA polymerase|polymerase]]'s work.<ref>Claudia V. Filomatori, Maria F. Lodeiro, Diego E. Alvarez, Marcelo M. Samsa, Lía Pietrasanta, and Andrea V. Gamarnik. ''A 5' RNA element promotes dengue virus RNA synthesis on a circular genome''.  Genes & Development, August 2006.</ref>
In 2007 the World Community Grid launched a project where by computer modeling of the Dengue Fever Virus (and related viruses) thousands of small molecules are screened for their potential anti-viral properties in fighting the Dengue Fever Virus. This project by use of computer simulations seeks out medicines to directly attack the virus once a person is infected. This is a distributed process project similar to SETI@Home where the general public downloads the World Community Grid agent and the program (along with thousands of other users) screens thousands of molecules while their computer would be otherwise idle. If the user needs to use the computer the program sleeps.  There are several different projects running, including a similar one screening for anti-AIDS drugs.  The project covering the Dengue Fever virus is called "Discovering Dengue Drugs – Together." The software and information about the project can be found at:

{{2005 dengue outbreak tally}}
During the first months of 2007 over 16,000 cases have been reported in Paraguay, of which around 100 have been detected as DHF cases. This new epidemic is expected to continue in Paraguay for several months, given the forecast of continuous rain all through the summer. Ten deaths have also been reported, including recently a high ranking member of the Ministry of Health. The epidemic has been the root of a scandal in the Paraguayan Department of Health, where one official has resigned because he had approved the use of expired batches of insecticide to control the mosquito vectors of dengue.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=BBC News|date=2 March 2007|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6407287.stm|title=Dengue sparks Paraguay emergency|accessdate=2007-06-19}}</ref><ref name="Paraguay2007">{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6422319.stm|publisher=BBC News|date=6 March 2007|accessdate=2007-06-19|title=Paraguay dengue official sacked}}</ref> The disease has propagated to Argentina (where it is not considered endemic), in almost all cases by people who recently arrived from Paraguay.<ref>Clarín, 22 February 2007.

The proportion of cases registered as DHF is reported to be higher than in previous years.

==History==
[[Dengue fever case study one|Case #1]]
===Etymology of "dengue"===
The origins of the word are not clear, but one theory is that it is derived from the Swahili phrase "Ka-dinga pepo", which describes the disease as being caused by an evil spirit.<ref>[http://www.cbwinfo.com/Biological/Pathogens/DENV.html Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents]</ref> The Swahili word "dinga" may possibly have its origin in the Spanish word "dengue" (fastidious or careful), describing the gait of a person suffering dengue fever,<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=dengue  Etymonline entry]</ref> or, alternatively, the Spanish word may derive from the Swahili.<ref>{{cite journal | author = | title = etomologia: dengue | journal = Emerging Infectious Diseases | year = 2006 | volume = 12 |number= 6 | pages = 893 | url=http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol12no06/pdfs/etymology.pdf }}</ref>


===History of the Disease===
==See Also==
Outbreaks ''resembling'' dengue fever have been reported throughout history.<ref name=Gubler_1998>{{cite journal |author=Gubler D |title=Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever |journal=Clin Microbiol Rev |volume=11 |issue=3 |pages=480-96 |year=1998 |id=PMID 9665979}}</ref> The first definitive case report dates from 1789 and is attributed to [[Benjamin Rush]], who coined the term "breakbone fever" (because of the symptoms of [[myalgia]] and [[arthralgia]]).  The viral [[etiology]] and the transmission by mosquitoes were only deciphered in the 20th century.  Population movements during World War II spread the disease globally.
