Dengue virus reveals its circular secret:

I think I'll wake this thread up since I've found several web sites related to dengue. It's rather hard to check if any of them has been posted here before, though.

Not necessarily a news article, but driving home the other day I heard a radio commercial for a company called Novartis and Dengue Fever. If I remember correctly Novartis claimed that no research was being done on this disease and that they were leading the way in research for Dengue.
I can't quote anything because it's been several days since I heard the radio spot.
I did look them up and sent their local customer service rep an email with a link to WCG and explained that Dengue is being researched.
I then got a notification that the email had failed delivery.

Dengue fever breakthrough
From Sydney Morning Herald - Richard Macey
January 2, 2009 - 6:01AM

A $10 MILLION grant to Australian scientists by the software billionaire Bill Gates has been used to find a way to halt the spread of one of the world's most serious tropical diseases.

In 2005 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave the money to an international team led by University of Queensland researchers working on a biological weapon to defeat dengue fever, which kills more than 20,000 people around the world each year and infects 100 million others. About 60 cases have been reported in Cairns in the past two months.

In a paper published today in the journal Science, the researchers report that they have achieved a breakthrough.

Ten years ago, Scott O'Neill, head of the university's school of biological sciences, began working on an idea to use bacteria to kill the dengue fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, before it was old enough to pass on the disease.

"Only old females are able to transmit the virus to humans," he said. If a way could be found to make them die before they were 12 days old, the virus could be stopped in its tracks.

Professor O'Neill proposed infecting mosquitoes with the Wolbachia bacterium. Found in up to 60 per cent of all insects, it is harmless to humans. But it has never been found naturally in dengue fever mosquitoes.

The project struggled until the Gates donation arrived, which was followed by $4 million from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

A PhD student, Conor McMeniman, used super-fine needles to inject 10,000 mosquito embryos with the bacterium. "It was very technical and tedious work," Professor O'Neill said, adding that they had shown the bacterium could halve the adult mosquito's lifespan. Once an insect was infected, the bacterium would spread via its eggs to the next generation.

A pilot release of infected mosquitoes could begin in Vietnam within three years. If no problems are discovered, a full-scale biological attack against the insects could be launched within five years. "We need to make sure the bacteria won't jump into any other species," Professor O'Neill said.

He said Mr Gates was aware of the team's progress. "We are very lucky to have him spending his money the way he does."
