Latin America Workshop On Denge

描述(申请人提供)：登革热病毒(DENV)包括四种血清型(DENV-1-DENV-4)，属于黄病毒科，导致最重要的节肢动物传播的病毒感染，每年约有1亿例和25,000人死亡。DENV会引起典型的登革热(“断骨”)，以及更严重、有时甚至致命的登革出血热/登革休克综合征。在美洲热带和亚热带地区，DF和DHF被认为是最严重的健康问题之一；此外，人口变化、快速城市化和环游世界，促使疾病在新的地理区域出现。在一些拉丁美洲国家，所有四种DENV血清型都在活跃地传播。在过去的20年里，由于人口的持续增长、无计划和无计划的城市化、跨国旅行的增加和其他社会变化，流行病发生了迅速的变化。所有这些都为在世界上大多数热带国家增加多种登革热病毒血清型的传播创造了理想的条件。通过这次研讨会，我们的目标是提供登革热重要的多学科方面的最新信息，包括：发病机制、预防、控制、治疗和诊断。此外，在实验室会议中，参与者将学习用于登革热诊断的重要和改进的技术。此外，该讲习班将为发达国家的国际机构与拉丁美洲的学术和监管当局之间的科学交流提供机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dengue viruses (DENV) include four serotypes (DENV-1 - DENV-4) that belong to the Flaviviridae family and cause the most important arthropod-borne viral infection of humans with about 100 million cases and 25,000 deaths annually. DENV causes classic Dengue ("break-bone") fever (DF), and more severe and sometimes fatal dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). In tropical and subtropical regions in the Americas, DF and DHF is considered one of the most serious health problems; moreover the demographic changes, the rapid urbanization and the travels around the world, has promoted the appearance of the disease in new geographic regions. In some Latin America countries, all four DENV serotypes are actively circulating. In the past 20 years, rapid epidemiological changes have manifested as a result of continuous population growth, uncontrolled and unplanned urbanization, increased intercountry travel and other social changes. All of these have created ideal conditions for increased transmission of multiple dengue virus serotypes in most of the tropical countries of the world. With this workshop, our goal is to provide an update of important multidisciplinary aspects of the Dengue, including: pathogenesis, prevention, control, treatment and diagnosis. In addition, in laboratory sessions, participants will learn important and improved techniques used for dengue diagnosis. Moreover, this workshop will provide an opportunity for scientific exchange between international institutions in developed countries and academic and regulatory authorities in Latin America.
