Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dengue continues to be a neglected tropical disease (NTD), with the typical features of an NTD. Although the research landscape of dengue has changed since the WHO/TDR publication describing dengue research in 2006, many issues still remain, and other topics became more relevant. This Issue has the aim to describe the research landscape and to identify gaps for future research. Contributions are encouraged in topics including but not limited to the following:
- Epidemiology/burden of disease, early warning;
- Diagnosis;
- Clinical management;
- Vector control;
- Drugs and vaccine;
- Determinants;
- Pathogenesis.
