TL;DR
Although lower than other estimates, the results offer more evidence that the true symptomatic incidence of dengue probably falls within the commonly cited range of 50 million to 100 million cases per year.

10,179 Citations2013Samir Bhatt, Peter W. Gething +16 more
These new risk maps and infection estimates provide novel insights into the global, regional and national public health burden imposed by dengue and will help to guide improvements in disease control strategies using vaccine, drug and vector control methods, and in their economic evaluation.

Prevalence and severity of health loss were weakly correlated and age-specific prevalence of YLDs increased with age in all regions and has decreased slightly from 1990 to 2010, but population growth and ageing have increased YLD numbers and crude rates over the past two decades.

A contemporary global map of national-level dengue status is generated that assigns a relative measure of certainty and identifies gaps in the available evidence and provides a preliminary estimate of population at risk with an upper bound of 3.97 billion people.

The findings show that dengue vaccine is efficacious when given as three injections at months 0, 6, and 12 to children aged 2-14 years in endemic areas in Asia, and has a good safety profile.

619 Citations2007Stephen S. Whitehead, Joseph E. Blaney +2 more
The unique immunological concerns in dengue virus vaccine development are discussed and the current prospects for the development of an acceptable vaccine are discussed, with a goal that is likely to be reached in the near future.

The utility of CODEm for the estimation of several major causes of death is demonstrated and it is shown that it produces better estimates of cause of death trends than previous methods and is less susceptible to bias in model specification.

138 Citations2013Eduardo A. Undurraga, Yara A. Halasa +1 more
Estimating the economic and disease burden of dengue in Southeast Asia using an expansion factor (EF) would seriously understate the burden and cost of the disease and elsewhere.

125 Citations2008Joseph R. Egger
It is proposed that the rise in disease incidence in Singapore was due in part to a vector-control-driven reduction in herd immunity in older age groups that are more susceptible to developing clinical dengue.

114 Citations2014Donald S. Shepard, Eduardo A. Undurraga +8 more
Recommendations for immediate implementation include refining analysis of currently available data to adjust reported episodes and expanding data collection in empirical studies, such as documenting the number of ambulatory visits before and after hospitalization and including breakdowns by age.

While PRNT data provides the maximum information, this study shows that even the much cheaper ELISA-based assays would provide comparable baseline estimates of overall transmission intensity which will be an important consideration in resource-constrained settings.
