The rapidly increasing burden of dengue, the varied and often poorly understood factors contributing to its global spread, and the challenges of preventing and controlling it have led to a renewed call for more research and training on the disease. The main aims are to improve vector control, case management, and primary prevention through vaccine development. The World Health Organization (WHO), through its inter-departmental working group on dengue, is actively engaged in supporting and co-ordinating the major research activities. The dengue research initiatives of the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), other departments at the WHO's Geneva headquarters, the WHO's regional and country offices, and the organization's dengue-affected member states are summarized in this article. This intensified effort, in close collaboration with other stakeholders, is contributing towards the goals of reversing the current epidemiological trends and of reducing the global burden posed by dengue in all of its forms.
登革热负担迅速增加，导致其全球传播的因素多样且往往 poorly understood，以及预防和控制登革热面临的挑战，这些都促使人们再次呼吁对该疾病进行更多研究和培训。主要目标是通过疫苗研发改善病媒控制、病例管理和一级预防。世界卫生组织（WHO）通过其登革热跨部门工作组，积极支持和协调主要研究活动。本文总结了热带病研究和培训特别规划（TDR）、WHO 日内瓦总部的其他部门、WHO 区域和国家办事处以及受登革热影响的该组织成员国的登革热研究倡议。与其他利益相关者密切合作的这一强化努力，正在朝着扭转当前流行病学趋势以及减轻登革热以各种形式造成的全球负担的目标做出贡献。
