Exploration of 5-Hydroxybowdichione Flavonoids As Inhibitors of Dengue Virus Ns5 RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Using Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Objectives: Human lives are now seriously threatened by dengue fever, which is brought on by the dengue virus (DENV). Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which reproduce in still water, are the primary vectors of the arboviral virus known as dengue. It is well-recognized that phytochemicals have a high potential to eliminate bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in people. Thus, it demonstrates its inhibitory effects on the dengue virus. This study identifies some …

Seroprevalence and Immunity to Dengue Virus Among Women in Punjab: A Public Health Concern
Abstract: Dengue virus (DENV) infection continues to be a public health concern in Punjab, India, where women are at higher risk because of socioeconomic factors. This cross-sectional study sought to assess the DENV seroprevalence, their neutralizing antibody profiles, and the risk factors associated with DENV among a sample of 1,200 women (aged 18–50 years) in Punjab. Serum samples were processed by IgG/IgM ELISA, and plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT90) were done …

Climate-Driven Shifts in Vector-Borne Disease Ecology Across South Asia
Abstract: Climate change remains one of the most important phenomena affecting the geographical distribution and movement patterns of vector-borne diseases. In South Asia – characterized by high population density, rich biodiversity, and sharp climatic differences – there is growing evidence of the relationship between increasing temperatures and erratic precipitation, along with the behavior of insect vectors. This research aims to evaluate the effects of climate environmental changes on the distribution and …
