A seroepidemiological survey was carried out during 1994 in the municipality of Paracambi, state of Rio de Janeiro. Haemagglutination inhibition test positivity was detected in 145 out of 370 (39.2%) schoolchildren. The frequency of positive test by sex was 53.8% (78/145) female and 46.2% (67/145) male. Distribution by age showed the increasing of antibody posivity in older children. Strains of dengue virus type 1 and dengue virus type 2 were isolated before (1990) showing the co-circulation of both serotypes in that area. The house index infestation of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti has been determined.

Dengue infection remains poorly characterized in Africa and little is known regarding its associated viral genetic diversity. Here, we report dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) sequence data from 10 clinical samples, including 5 complete genome sequences of the cosmopolitan genotype, obtained from febrile adults seeking outpatient care in coastal Kenya.

Dengue virus distributed in tropical and subtropical regions in the world. DENV viruses are transmitted between humans primarily by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes and are endemic in most areas in which the vectors occur. Four serotypes of dengue virus are DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4. DENV-2 is comprised of six genotypes. Ethanol precipitation is a commonly used technique for concentrating and de-salting nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) preparations in aqueous solution. RNA isolation by combining Guanidinium thiocyanate and phenol reported has been reported. In this report, we investigated RNA isolation from DENV-2 using QIAamp Mini Kit with 2-Isopropanol, Methanol, Chloroform precipitation solvent. Electrophoregram showed DNA band as  the result of RNA isolation with methanol and 2-isopropanol are produced quite well. Dna band of the of RNA isolation with chloroform solvent has the lowest intensity than methanol and 2-isopropanol. This study showed that methanol and 2-isopropanol  can used as precipitation solvent for isolating RNA.

Dengue virus type 1 has been isolated in Aedes albopictus cell strain, from sera of patients living in the Nova Iguaçu county, by Rio de Janeiro. The clinical picture was characterized by fever, headache, retrobulbar pain, backache, pains in the muscles and the joints and prostration. Studies in paired sera confirmed the presence of recent infection by dengue virus type 1. The outbreak reached adjacent areas, including Rio de Janeiro city (May, 1986).
