DENGUE:EPIDEMIOLOGYPART 1 SCOTT B HALSTEAD, MD Director, Research PEDIATRIC DENGUE VACCINE INITIATIVE
TRANSMISSION • Aedes aegypti breeds in clean water in and around houses. • Daytime biting. • Transmission from human to human requires the same female mosquito to bite a viremic human and then bite a susceptible human at an interval of around 10-12 days.
FOUR VIRUSES • Life time immunity follows infection to one type. • Second, third and possibly four infections are possible. • CHILDREN – first infections are mild, largely inapparent. • ADULTS - first infections may produce DF, some viruses more overt than others.
PRIMARY INFECTIONSClinical Features • In children – DEN 1 & 3 – mild illness DEN 2 & 4 – no illness • In adults DEN 1 & 3 – Disease/Infection ~1; g.i. hemorrhages may accompany peptic ulcer disease. DEN 2 & 4 - mild - moderate
DENGUE FEVER • Incubation period = 5 days • Fever = 5 days • Leukopenia • Moderate thrombocytopenia Simmons et al Phil J Sci 44:1-252, 1931

WHY TWO SYNDROMES, BENIGN and SEVERE? Observed in two immunological settings. Primary infections in infants. 2. Secondary infections in children and adults.
Two-infectionsThe epidemiological data • DHF documented in children (> 1 yr) who circulate infection-acquired dengue antibody. Four prospective cohort and 6 prospective population-based studies. • In most studies, DHF comprises 2-5% of secondary infections
SEQUENTIAL DENGUE INFECTIONS Two infections can occur in twelve possible combinations.
Established second infection sequences leading to DHF • 2 – 1 Thailand; Indonesia • 3 – 1 Thailand • 1 – 2 Cuba, 1981; Cuba 1997; Thailand • 3 – 2 Thailand • 4 – 2 Thailand • 1 – 3 Cuba, 2001; Thailand; Indonesia • 2 – 3 Thailand, DF in Cuba • 1 – 4 Thailand • 2 – 4 Indonesia • 3 – 4 Thailand
No data • 4 – 1 • 4 – 3 KALAYANROOJ S et al AJTMH 2008 in press.
Third infections: resulting in DHF • 1 – 3 – 2 Thailand MAMMAN MP personal communication No DHF • 1 – 2 – 3 Cuba, 2001. GUZMAN MG personal communication

Dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome has occurred in some (but not all) dengue epidemics since the 1950s,Why?
DHF does not occur if antibodies from first infection neutralize the second infecting virus.
BANGKOK STUDYKliks et al AJTMH 40:444, 1989. • 40 Bangkok school children had documented secondary DEN 2 infections (pre-infection blood sample contained dengue antibodies). • 7 were hospitalized; 33 silent. • Undiluted pre-infection sera tested for neutralization or enhancement in human PBL cultures.
ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE OF VIRUS: IQUITOS STUDY • School children cohorts followed from 1990 until now. • DEN 1 transmitted in 1990 - 1994. • DEN 2 transmitted from 1995. • Prevalence of neutralizing antibodies measured in 1993, 1994 and 1995 cohorts. • In 1995, secondary DEN 2 infection rate estimated at 60.5%
NO DHF with Secondary DEN 2 (American genotype) infections • Total population, 5 - 14 yrs-old = 81,479. • Total 2ndary DEN 2 infections = 49,266. • Estimated hospitalized DHF = 887-10247. • Estimated deaths = 18 - 204. • DHF cases observed = 0 Watts DM et al Lancet 354:1431-4, 1999
