Abstract Background Dengue is an emerging infectious disease that infects up to 390 million people yearly. The growing demand of dengue diagnostics especially in low-resource settings gave rise many rapid diagnostic tests (RDT). This study evaluated the accuracy and utility ViroTrack Acute - a new biosensors-based NS1 RDT, SD Bioline Duo NS1/IgM/IgG combo commercially available Ag enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), for diagnosis acute infection. Methods prospective cross-sectional...

Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a major public health concern, posing huge economic and disease burdens globally. In Malaysia, the incidence of DENV infections has increased significantly over years. Nevertheless, passive surveillance mechanism applied may not capture actual magnitude infection. There was also paucity community-based studies exploring seroprevalence. This study aimed to determine seroprevalence associated factors among urban population in Petaling district, Malaysia. A...

Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels can provide insights into a person’s immunity to COVID-19 and inform decisions about vaccination public health measures. Anti-S may be useful as an indicator of effective immune response. Thus, we conducted this study that aimed determine the response anti-S antibodies against for all vaccine types over time among adult recipients in Malaysia associated factors. This was cohort recruited 2513 respondents aged 18 years above from June December 2021. Each...
