项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): DENVs are considered the most important emerging, human arboviruses, with worldwide distribution in the tropics, causing an estimated 50 million cases of dengue fever (DF), 750,000 cases of severe dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS), and approximately 21,000 deaths every year. According to the WHO, severe dengue is a leading cause of serious illness and death among children in some Asian and Latin American countries. In 2013, the WHO reported 2.35 million cases of dengue in the Americas alone, of which 37,687 cases were severe dengue. The field of dengue research has shown considerable expansion in the last decade, with new vaccine candidates, better understanding of disease determinants, and new developments in diagnosis, prognosis and investigational treatments. However, currently there is no specific treatment and no effective vaccines. The Pan-American Dengue Research Network Meeting (Pan-Dengue Net) is an initiative to gather researchers across the Americas every two years to discuss their recent advancements in the field, communicate this information to the scientific community in the region, foster collaborations among groups, and discuss future research strategies that will further strengthen the field. During these meetings cutting-edge topics on dengue field are presented and discussed. One of the main objectives of this application is to guarantee the participation of many graduated students and junior investigators from Latin American and Caribbean regions, which have been usually underrepresented in science The scientific meeting to be held in Belém, Brazil this year undoubtedly will make an important contribution to supporting and broadening the impact of research on dengue throughout the hemisphere.

描述（由申请人提供）：DENV 被认为是最重要的新兴人类虫媒病毒，在全球热带地区分布，导致估计 5000 万登革热 (DF) 病例、750,000 例严重登革出血热和登革休克综合征病例(DHF/DSS)，据世界卫生组织称，严重登革热是导致每年约 21,000 人死亡的主要原因。 2013年，世界卫生组织报告仅美洲地区就有235万例登革热病例，其中37,687例为重症登革热病例。十年来，随着新的候选疫苗的出现，对疾病决定因素的进一步了解，以及诊断、预后和研究治疗方面的新进展，然而，目前还没有具体的治疗方法，也没有有效的疫苗。研究网络会议（泛登革热网络）是一项倡议，每两年召集美洲各地的研究人员讨论他们在该领域的最新进展，向该地区的科学界传达这些信息，促进团体之间的合作，并讨论未来的研究在这些会议期间，提出并讨论了登革热领域的前沿主题，该申请的主要目标之一是保证来自拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的许多研究生和初级研究人员的参与。在科学领域通常代表性不足今年将在巴西贝伦举行的科学会议无疑将为支持和扩大整个半球登革热研究的影响做出重要贡献。
