| west nile virus in pakistan. 1. sero-epidemiological studies in punjab province. | serum samples collected during 1978-79 from residents of the chiniot and changa manga national forest (cmf) areas of punjab province, pakistan, had over-all neutralizing (n) antibody positive rates for west nile (wn) virus of 32.8% (n = 192) and 38.5% (n = 239), respectively. comparison of the age-specific antibody rates indicated that the pattern of exposure to infection was different in the two areas. samples from a 1968 serosurvey of residents of the cmf area had an age-specific n antibody pr ... | 1982 | 6926759 |
| multiple dengue serotypes and high frequency of dengue hemorrhagic fever at two tertiary care hospitals in lahore during the 2008 dengue virus outbreak in punjab, pakistan. | the objective of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with dengue viral infection during the 2008 outbreak in lahore in order to better understand the clinical pattern and severity of disease in lahore. | 2010 | 20171916 |
| Serotype and genotype analysis of dengue virus by sequencing followed by phylogenetic analysis using samples from three mini outbreaks-2007-2009 in Pakistan. | Since the first reported outbreak of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Pakistan, several mini outbreaks have erupted in the region. Dengue virus serotype 3 (DEN-3) was first documented in 2005 outbreak in Karachi. Reports show that serotype 3 is prevalent in Lahore since 2008. Serotype 2 (DEN-2) is the major circulating serotype in Pakistan as it is documented since 1994. We have conducted a detailed study of three outbreaks of dengue virus infection that occurred in years 2007, 2008 and 2009 in Lahor ... | 2011 | 21906394 |
| introduction and evolution of dengue virus type 2 in pakistan: a phylogeographic analysis. | pattern of dengue periodic epidemics through the years along with sporadic cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever followed by a severe 2011 epidemic of dengue fever in pakistan make pakistan a dengue endemic country. to study the entry and evolution of dengue virus serotype 2 (denv-2) in pakistan, we sequenced three full length genomes and 24 complete envelope sequences of denv-2 from the years 2010, 2011 and 2013 collected from punjab province of pakistan. | 2015 | 26395339 |
| circulating serotypes of dengue virus and their incursion into non-endemic areas of pakistan; a serious threat. | dengue virus is circulating in pakistan since 1994, which causes major and minor outbreaks in many areas of the country. the incidence of dengue in pakistan in past years mainly restricted to parts of sindh and punjab provinces. as such, a severe dengue outbreak appeared in pakistan in 2011, particularly in punjab province with lahore as the most hit city (290 deaths). in 2013, for the first time in the history of pakistan, dengue outbreak erupted in swat district, khyber pakhtunkhwa, which clai ... | 2016 | 27565893 |
