Current State of Dengue Fever Laboratory Diagnostics (Scientific Review)

Abstract

The paper contains the data on the distribution, morphology and classification of Dengue viruses as well as laboratory diagnostics of the diseases caused by them using conventional and modern virology methods. Discussed is the possibility of application of various laboratory techniques at different stages from the onset of the disease. In addition, up to date cases of Dengue fever importation into the territory of the Russian Federation are becoming more frequent which testifies to the need of the development of domestically produced test-system, as well as introduction of modern technologies of virus isolation on the biological model or cell culture into the practice of plague control institutions.
