| [dengue in panama, 1993]. | up to 1993, panama was the only country in central america where the autochthonous transmission of dengue virus had been detected without experimenting an explosive epidemic despite being reinfected with the aedes aegypti mosquito since 1985. the characteristics of this first outbreak reported on november 19, 1993, are described in this paper. it is shown that even when there is a program for the surveillance and control of dengue, which considers low levels of aedes aegypti infection and a syst ... | 1997 | 9685969 |
| [polymerase chain reaction for rapid detection and serotyping of dengue virus in clinical samples]. | this study describes the benefits of using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) for the rapid detection and typing of dengue virus in clinical samples. twenty-seven serum specimens from patients with dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever in colombia, nicaragua, and panama were directly subjected to rt-pcr for the detection of dengue virus. the resulting double-stranded dna product was typed by a second round of pcr amplification (nested pcr) with type-specific primers, vi ... | 1998 | 9734221 |
