TIRUNELVELI, January 21, 2013
Sporadic dengue cases reported in Nellai district

Leading hospitals receive minimum of five patients in a week
: After claiming more than forty lives in Tirunelveli district during the previous outbreak in the first quarter last year, dengue has reared its ugly head again in the city with almost all leading hospitals here receiving a minimum of five dengue patients every week.

Though the latest outbreak has not resulted in any death so far, the disease has triggered panic among the public. The fear has increased manifold as anti-mosquito operations, carried out by the Corporation, have come to a grinding halt.

The previous outbreak, which initially had its ?epicentre? at Kadayanallur in March last, later moved around at its will to shook the entire district, including the areas falling under the Tirunelveli Corporation to trigger a massive influx of patients with dengue symptoms.

Dengue death figure fudged: report
By Prithvijit Mitra, TNN | Jan 25, 2013, 02.57 AM IST

KOLKATA: A citizens' report on environment and health, compiled by an NGO, has indicated that the dengue death figure in the state last year was fudged. It has also mentioned that the actual number affected by the mosquito-borne virus was never disclosed and would be much higher than 2033, the official figure according to the state health department website. Only 11 people succumbed to dengue in 2012, as per official records.
...
"Even though the official figure of death is just 11, the situation on the ground suggests that it is much higher. Hospital records and area-wise surveys indicate that the number is at least three times more. Media reports, too, support the claim. While we have mentioned that the figure is a disputed one, it is unfortunate that the Union health ministry has accepted it," said environmentalist A K Ghosh, who led the study. The state health department, on the other hand, said the figure was beyond doubt. and the fact that it has been accepted by the Union health ministry was validation enough.

Corporation again sweeps dengue under carpet
By Christin Mathew Philip | Jan 25, 2013, 03.29 AM IST

CHENNAI: Soon after an eight-year-old girl was diagnosed with dengue at a private hospital in Adambakkam on Monday, corporation health officials descended on the place to ask the parents not to disclose to anyone that it was a case of dengue.

No wonder then the civic body has registered just one case of dengue in the city this year, though TOI on Thursday found that at least six cases were registered in the hospital where the eight-year-old was treated in the past one week.

Re: India Dengue 2013

Lineage shift in Indian strains of Dengue virus serotype-3 (Genotype III), evidenced by detection of lineage IV strains in clinical cases from Kerala



Local epidemiology of Dengue is defined by the genetic diversity of the circulating Dengue virus (DENV) strains. This important information is not available for the virus strains from most parts of the Indian subcontinent.

The present study focused on the genetic diversity of the serotype 3 DENV strains (DENV-3) from India.

Results: A total of 22 DENV-3 strains identified by reverse-transcription PCR analysis of serum samples from 709 patients were studied. These samples were collected over a period of 4 years (2008--2011) from dengue fever suspected patients from Kerala, a dengue endemic state in South India.

Comparison of a 1740bp nucleotide sequence of the viral Capsid-Pre-membrane-Envelope coding region of our strains and previously reported DENV-3 strains from India, South Asia and South America revealed non-synonymous substitutions that were genotype III-specific as well as sporadic. Evidence of positive selection was detected in the I81 amino acid residue of the envelope protein.

Out of the 22 samples, three had I81A and 18 had I81V substitutions. In the phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood method the strains from Kerala clustered in two different lineages (lineage III and IV) within genotype III clade of DENV-3 strains.

The ten strains that belonged to lineage IV had a signature amino acid substitution T219A in the envelope protein. Interestingly, all these strains were found to be closely related to a Singapore strain GU370053 isolated in 2007.

Conclusions: Our study identifies for the first time the presence of lineage IV strains in the Indian subcontinent.

Results indicate the possibility of a recent exotic introduction and also a shift from the existing lineage III strains to lineage IV. Lineage shifts in DENV-3 strains have been attributed to dramatic increase in disease severity in many parts of the world.

Hence the present observation could be significant in terms of the clinical severity of future dengue cases in the region.
