Latin America Workshop On Denge

描述（由申请人提供）：登革热病毒（DENV）包括四种血清型（DENV-1 - DENV-4），属于黄病毒科，是引起人类最重要的节肢动物传播病毒感染的病毒，每年约有1亿例病例和25,000例死亡。DENV引起典型的登革热（“断骨”）热（DF），以及更严重、有时甚至致命的登革出血热/登革休克综合征（DSS）。在美洲的热带和亚热带地区，登革热和登革出血热被认为是最严重的健康问题之一；此外，人口结构的变化，快速的城市化和世界各地的旅行，促进了疾病在新的地理区域的出现。在一些拉丁美洲国家，登革热病毒的所有四种血清型都在积极传播。在过去20年中，由于人口持续增长、不受控制和无计划的城市化、国家间旅行增加和其他社会变化，流行病学发生了迅速变化。所有这些都为在世界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条件。通过这次研讨会，我们的目标是提供登革热重要多学科方面的最新情况，包括：发病机制、预防、控制、治疗和诊断。此外，在实验室课程中，与会者将学习用于登革热诊断的重要和改进的技术。此外，这次讲习班将为发达国家的国际机构与拉丁美洲的学术和管理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.
