Dendritic Cell Apoptosis and the Pathogenesis of Dengue
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Dengue viruses and other members of the Flaviviridae family are emerging human pathogens. Dengue is transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes. Following infection through the bite, cells of the hematopoietic lineage, like dendritic cells, are the first targets of dengue virus infection.
