Dengue

Synthetic DNA molecules could serve as an easy-to-manufacture alternative to traditional antibody-based rapid tests.

During the 2018 outbreak in Southeastern Tanzania, there were four dengue virus serotypes and the chikungunya virus in circulation, say A*STAR researchers.

This two-step outbreak detection framework could give early warnings of dengue outbreaks, improving Singapore’s ability to control the disease.

Studying how viruses change their shapes at different temperatures could lead to more effective vaccines.

Short- and long-range interactions that give structure to virus genomes also influence virus replication and infectiousness.

A*STAR researchers have devised a method that can detect and distinguish closely related flaviviruses with 100 percent accuracy.

Proteomics expert Ruedi Aebersold discusses the use of multiplex targeted mass spectrometry for one-shot flavivirus diagnosis.
