Created the study area map for my *Aedes* larvae biodiversity project in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Mapping the landscape helps visualize sampling sites and ecological patterns, supporting better understanding of vector habitats and dengue risk.

Global Study to Evaluate Whether Dengue Outbreaks Can Be Anticipated Earlier - SciTube Every year, dengue outbreaks stretch health systems across tropical regions to their limits. When hospitals begin to fill and communities fall ill, the virus has often already spread too far. For loca...

Dengue virus IgG and neutralizing antibody titers measured with standard and mature viruses are protective | Nature Communications The standard dengue virus (DENV) neutralization assay inconsistently predicts dengue protection. We compare how IgG ELISA, envelope domain III (EDIII), or non-structural protein 1 (NS1) binding antibodies, and titers from plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNTs) using standard and mature viruses are associated with dengue. The ELISA measures IgG antibodies that bind to inactivated DENV1-4. The EDIII and NS1 assays measure binding antibodies, and the PRNTs measure neutralizing antibodies to each specific DENV serotype. Healthy children (n = 1206) in Cebu, Philippines were followed for 5 years. ELISA IgG≥3 was associated with reduced dengue probability relative to naïve children (3% vs. 10%, p = 0.007). Serotype-specific antibodies binding EDIII or NS1 had no association with dengue risk. Standard virus PRNT geometric mean titers (GMT) > 200 and mature GMT > 100 were associated with reduced dengue disease overall (p < 0.01). High DENV2 and DENV3 titers against either standa

Dengue protection linked to IgG and neutralizing titers: ELISA, EDIII, NS1, PRNT tests show promise. Could this refine vaccine strategies? #DengueResearch PMID:39747846, Nat Commun 2025, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-53916-9 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA @geneticssociety @eshg 🧪

🎉Congrats to Natalia for receiving the #AtheneGrant at the University of Tübingen! This grant will support her work on developing nanobodies to fight Dengue fever and aims to create new therapies that could neutralize all four Dengue serotypes. #DengueResearch #WomenInScience
