Dengue fever is the most common infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes -- some 100 million people around the world are infected. A new three-dimensional model shows the location in the human cell where the virus is reproduced. This research provides an insight into the exact process of viral replication and serves as a model for other viruses. It offers new approaches for developing measures to prevent or treat dengue fever.
