Dengue pathogenesis and disease control

登革热是一种由蚊子传播的严重病毒性疾病。在亚洲，登革热每年导致数十万儿童和年轻人住院，一些患者死亡。没有疫苗或专门的治疗方法。在这项奖学金中，我将领导一个研究项目，旨在为医生提供更有效地诊断和治疗登革热的工具，并开发一种新的生物控制方法，以防止登革热由蚊子传播。

Dengue is a serious viral disease that is spread by mosquitoes. Dengue results in hundreds of thousands of children and young adults being hospitalized in Asia every year, and some patients die. There is no vaccine or specific treatment. In this fellowship I will lead a research program that aims provide doctors with the tools to diagnosis and treat dengue more efficiently and to develop a novel biological control to prevent dengue being transmitted by mosquitoes.
