This work aims at presenting an educational game for people with down syndrome with a focus on learning how to prevent and diagnose, viral Dengue disease. STOP-Dengue game was developed considering bibliographic research, a search for apps classified as games on the Google Play platform for smartphones, and a survey applied to a group of parents and caregivers to identify the best kind of educational stimuli for children and adolescents with down syndrome. The game presents details about Dengue viral disease, encouraging the active participation of children in the learning of this subject. A group of students with down syndrome participated in the evaluation of STOP-Dengue. The results showed that participants learned the concepts about Dengue, and the majority were satisfied with the game.

Dengue fever is a noncontagious infectious disease caused by dengue virus (DENV). DENV belongs to the familyFlaviviridae, genusFlavivirus, and is classified into four antigenically distinct serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. The number of nations and people affected has increased steadily and today is considered the most widely spread arbovirus (arthropod-borne viral disease) in the world. The absence of an appropriate animal model for studying the disease has hindered the understanding of dengue pathogenesis. In our study, we have found that immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice infected intraperitoneally with DENV-1 presented some signs of dengue disease such as thrombocytopenia, spleen hemorrhage, liver damage, and increase in production of IFNγand TNFαcytokines. Moreover, the animals became viremic and the virus was detected in several organs by real-time RT-PCR. Thus, this animal model could be used to study mechanism of dengue virus infection, to test antiviral drugs, as well as to evaluate candidate vaccines.
