Dengue fever is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease of humans, with a significant disease burden in tropical and subtropical countries. The disease is caused by four distinct dengue virus (DENV) serotypes, DENV-1 to -4, all of which belong to the family Flaviviridae, genus . Approximately 3.6 billion people live in areas where they are at risk of transmission of DENVs, resulting in up to 390 million infections and 96 million symptomatic cases annually. Although the disease is highly endemic in the West Africa region, little is known about the prevalence and distribution of DENVs in Niger. We hereby report the first laboratory-confirmed case of dengue in Niger.
登革热是人类最重要的蚊媒病毒性疾病,在热带和亚热带国家造成重大疾病负担。该疾病由四种不同的登革病毒(DENV)血清型引起,即DENV-1至-4,它们均属于黄病毒科。约36亿人生活在有感染DENV风险的地区,每年导致多达3.9亿人感染,9600万人出现症状。尽管该疾病在西非地区高度流行,但关于尼日尔DENV的流行情况和分布知之甚少。我们在此报告尼日尔首例实验室确诊的登革热病例。
