DENV-3-LVHC

Previous studies with one dengue infection in a controlled environment at Upstate generated data that has been important in understanding the clinical signs and symptoms and how a person's body reacts to dengue infection over time. This has helped investigators compare what is seen in the clinic to what is seen in areas where dengue is prevalent. The investigators want to collect similar information when a person gets the same dengue twice in a controlled environment with the hope that this will lead them to a better understanding of the disease.
New participants
will receive one inoculation of dengue and then return to the clinic or be contacted by phone over 6 months;
will receive a second inoculation after 6 months and return to the clinic or be contacted by phone for three more months;
will collect saliva at home;
will allow the study team to collect blood and saliva at the clinic visits.
Participants who have been in previous dengue inoculation studies at SUNY Upstate
will receive one inoculation of dengue and then return to the clinic or be contacted by phone over 6 months;
will collect saliva at home;
will allow the study team to collect blood and saliva at the clinic visits.
All participants will be seen in the clinic every other day for the first three weeks after any inoculation.
