This study tested a dengue vaccine (TDV) in 187 healthy Japanese volunteers aged 4 to 60. Participants received two shots three months apart. The main goal was to see if the vaccine triggers an immune response against all four types of dengue virus. The trial is now complete.

This study tested a new dengue vaccine in over 20,000 healthy children aged 4 to 16 years. The goal was to see if two doses could prevent dengue fever caused by any of the four dengue virus types. The vaccine was given as a shot under the skin and compared to a placebo. Results s…

This study tested a new dengue vaccine called V181 against an existing one (Butantan-DV) in 1,364 healthy adults aged 18 to 50 in Brazil. The goal was to see if V181 is as safe and triggers a similar immune response. Results showed V181 was safe and produced comparable antibody l…

This phase 2 trial tested a tetravalent dengue vaccine (TDV) in 30 healthy adults, some with prior dengue exposure and some without. The goal was to measure the body's immune response and check for safety. Participants received a single shot, and researchers tracked antibody leve…

This study tested whether an extract from papaya leaves (CPLE) can help people with dengue fever. 250 adults with confirmed dengue were given either CPLE capsules or a placebo for 5 days. The main goals were to see if the extract could raise platelet counts and reduce the risk of…

This study tested a new drug called AV-1, which is a lab-made antibody, to see if it can prevent or treat dengue virus type 3 infection. Eighty-five healthy adults received either a low, medium, or high dose of AV-1 or a placebo, and were then exposed to a controlled dengue virus…

This study looked at whether giving hospital-level care to acutely ill adults in their own homes in rural areas works well. 160 people with various conditions like infections, heart failure, or COPD took part. The goal was to see if this approach could lower costs and help patien…

This study tested whether a drug called fenretinide (ISLA101) can prevent or reduce dengue symptoms. Fifteen healthy adults were given either the drug or a placebo before or after being exposed to a weakened dengue virus. Researchers measured virus levels and immune responses ove…

This study looked at how well a new, quick finger-prick test (LumiraDx CRP) measures CRP levels compared to a standard lab test. CRP is a marker of infection, inflammation, or tissue injury. 79 adults with symptoms of these conditions took part. The goal was to see if the new tes…

This early study tested whether a special PET scan using a radioactive form of vitamin B9 (11C-PABA) can help doctors see infections deep inside the body. Researchers scanned 13 healthy people and patients with known or suspected infections. The goal was to see if this method can…

This study tested whether sending health tips via WhatsApp could help families in Colombia prevent dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. About 900 households were split into three groups: one got WhatsApp messages plus community support, one got community support only, and one got routi…

This study tested a clever way to prevent dengue fever: releasing mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria into neighborhoods in Brazil. Over four years, researchers compared areas that got these special mosquitoes plus usual control methods to areas with usual methods alone. …

This study tested whether spraying insecticide on indoor walls (Targeted Indoor Residual Spraying) can prevent diseases spread by Aedes mosquitoes, like dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Over 4,400 children aged 2 to 15 in Merida, Mexico took part. Researchers tracked how many got s…

This large study tested a device called Mosquito Shield that releases a repellent (transfluthrin) to keep mosquitoes away. Nearly 7,000 children aged 4-16 in Sri Lanka took part. The goal was to see if the device reduces infections from viruses like dengue. Researchers tracked in…

This study followed 775 healthy children aged 2-9 in Cambodia over three years to learn how mosquitoes spread dengue and other viruses. Researchers took blood samples every wet and dry season to check for past or current infections. The goal was to understand why young children g…

This study looked at 150 people with dengue fever to see if abdominal ultrasound findings, like gallbladder thickening or fluid in the belly, are linked to low platelet counts—a sign of severe disease. Researchers reviewed medical records and ultrasound images to find patterns th…

This completed study tested whether machine learning could predict dengue and severe dengue using electronic health records from 1,000 patients in Thailand and Vietnam. The goal was to create a low-cost tool that works even when lab tests are unavailable. Researchers used vital s…

This study reviewed the medical records of 199 patients with severe dengue who were treated in intensive care units in Villavicencio, Colombia. Researchers looked at patient details, lab results, and outcomes to better understand the disease in a real-world ICU setting. No new tr…

This study looked at how people's immune systems react to proteins in mosquito saliva after being bitten. Researchers exposed 147 healthy adults in Thailand to lab-grown mosquitoes that can carry malaria or dengue. The goal was to find markers in the blood that show how much expo…

This study tested whether playing an educational board game could improve nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence about dengue compared to a standard lecture. Over 100 nurses from 14 health centers in Indonesia took part, each receiving a single 90-minute session of either t…

This pilot study looked for dengue virus in the sperm of 10 men with active dengue infection. Researchers collected semen, urine, and blood samples over 90 days to see if the virus is present and where it hides. The goal is to understand if the virus can be in sperm and whether s…
