The frantic, high-tech fight to stop climate-fueled dengue fever Scientists in Brazil and Peru may have found a way to beat mosquitoes at their own game. The U.S. may soon need to do the same.

Dengue observatory eyes global disease surveillance Global dengue observatory collects data from 88 countries to improve projections and assist early warnings.

#Dengue is now endemic in over 100 countries, with ~50% of the world’s population at risk.

New algorithms adjust for reporting delays and missing data, currently focused on Latin America.

The Contribution of Viral Toxins to Infection and The process by which viruses cause disease, viral pathogenesis, is the result of both infection of cells and the host immune response. A less studied but equally important contributor to viral pathogenesis is viral dissemination, the capacity of a virus to move from the primary site of infection, traverse physiological barriers, and gain access to secondary sites of infection. This dictates viral tropism and pathogenesis, but the mechanisms governing barrier crossing are incompletely understood. While the presence of viral receptors on cells is a major determinant of viral tropism and a prerequisite for infection, it does not completely explain the capacity of viruses to enter a tissue. Our recent work has begun to characterize the contribution of soluble viral proteins, acting as “viral toxins,” to viral dissemination, tissue tropism, and overall pathogenesis within an infected host.   In this review, we discuss the characteristics of these viral toxins, which are soluble or surface-exposed viral proteins that can interact with endothelial and/or epithelial barriers, as well as immune cells, to trigger signaling pathways, resulting in the transient breakdown of cellular structures maintaining barrier integrity. The disruption of these barriers induces vascular leak and facilitates virus dissemination, influencing viral tropism and pathogenesis. Importantly, blocking this process prevents leak, viral dissemination, and severe disease during infection, highlighting the value of therapeutic intervention against viral toxin activity. Here, we summarize our current understanding of recently discovered viral toxins from the Flaviviridae, Coronaviridae, Nairoviridae, and Filoviridae.   Published March 13, 2026 in MBio: https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.00421-25    

The review describes examples of viral toxins in infections with SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and Dengue and other flaviviruses. Viral glycoproteins affect endothelial and epithelial barriers, facilitating the systemic dissemination of the virus to other tissues #ebola #dengue

Dengue infection elicits skin tissue-resident and circulating CD8+ T cells associated with protection from hospitalization Dengue infection induces marked reshaping of the skin T cell compartment and elicits skin tissue-resident CD8+ T cells.

An analysis of skin and blood after #dengue infection in #ScienceAdvances shows a more dramatic reshaping and enrichment of T cells in the skin, indicating that vaccinations bolstering the skin’s immune response could help protect against dengue infection. https://scim.ag/41ga4Kg

CDC Dengue Notice Flags 16 Travel Destinations CDC's March 23 dengue notice flags 16 destinations with elevated traveler risk and explains how to cut bite exposure before departure.

The CDC’s updated dengue notice is not a no travel warning, but it does change trip prep for 16 destinations. Pack repellent early, and think harder about open air stays. #Dengue
