| uncertainties regarding dengue modeling in rio de janeiro, brazil. | dengue fever is currently the most important arthropod-borne viral disease in brazil. mathematical modeling of disease dynamics is a very useful tool for the evaluation of control measures. to be used in decision-making, however, a mathematical model must be carefully parameterized and validated with epidemiological and entomological data. in this work, we developed a simple dengue model to answer three questions: (i) which parameters are worth pursuing in the field in order to develop a dengue ... | 2003 | 14765541 |

| dengue virus type 4 in niterói, rio de janeiro: the role of molecular techniques in laboratory diagnosis and entomological surveillance. | in niterói, state of rio de janeiro, dengue virus type 4 (denv-4) was isolated for the first time in march 2011. we analysed the laboratory findings of the first cases and evaluated the use of molecular techniques for the detection of denv-4 in aedes aegypti that were field-caught. conventional reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and simplexa™ dengue real-time rt-pcr confirmed denv-4 infection in all cases. additionally, denv-4 was confirmed in a female ae. aegypti with 1.08 ... | 2012 | 23147153 |

| dengue type 4 in rio de janeiro, brazil: case characterization following its introduction in an endemic region. | due to the populations' susceptibility, denv-4 introduction in 2010 led to the occurrence of explosive epidemics in the following years in brazil. in 2011, denv-4 was identified in rio de janeiro (rj) and it was prevalent in 2012 and 2013. here, we aimed to characterize clinical, epidemiological and laboratorial aspects of denv-4 cases after this serotype introduction in an endemic scenario. | 2017 | 28599640 |
| detection of zika virus in april 2013 patient samples, rio de janeiro, brazil. | we tested 210 dengue virus‒negative samples collected from febrile patients during a dengue virus type 4 outbreak in rio de janeiro in april 2013 and found 3 samples positive for zika virus. our findings support previously published entomological data suggesting zika virus was introduced into brazil during october 2012-may 2013. | 2017 | 28953451 |
