Summary
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 get sick more often and to lay the groundwork for future prevention efforts.
