Dengue fever is caused by four related RNA viruses of the genus Flavivirus, dengue virus (DENV)‐1, ‐2, ‐3, and ‐4, which are transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Although DENV is not endemic in Japan, an autochthonous dengue outbreak occurred in 2014. Several transfusion‐transmitted cases have also been reported after the use of blood and plasma products in DENV‐endemic countries. The aim of this study was to develop a novel multiplex reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR… 
Dengue Detection: Advances in Diagnostic Tools from Conventional Technology to Point of Care
TLDR
The structural evolution of the virus is discussed followed by a comprehensive review of current dengue detection strategies and methods that are being developed or commercialized and future guidelines for the improved usage of diagnostic tools during recurrence or future outbreaks of DENV are outlined.
Development and evaluation of human T‐cell leukemia virus‐1 and ‐2 multiplex quantitative PCR
TLDR
A multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) by large‐scale primer screening was developed and can successfully and simultaneously detect both types of HTLV‐1 andHTLV‐2 provirus with extremely high sensitivity.
Isolation of serotype-specific antibodies against dengue virus non-structural protein 1 using phage display and application in a multiplexed serotyping assay
TLDR
This work demonstrates that phage display coupled with novel biopanning strategies is a valuable in vitro methodology for isolation of binders that can discern amongst antigens with high homology for diagnostic applicability.
Control of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) Infection by Eliminating Envelope Protein-Positive Cells with Recombinant Vesicular Stomatitis Viruses Encoding HTLV-1 Primary Receptor
TLDR
RVSVs that specifically target and kill HTLV-1 Env-expressing cells (not ATL cells, which generally do not express Env in vivo) through replacement of the G gene with HT LV-1 receptor gene(s) in the VSV genome are developed.

Serotype-Specific Detection of Dengue Viruses in a Fourplex Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assay
TLDR
This serotype-specific, fourplex real-time reverse transcriptase PCR nucleic acid detection assay can be used as a method for differential diagnosis of a specific DEN serotype in viremic dengue patients and as a tool for rapid identification and serotyping of DEN virus isolates.
Comparison of the FDA-Approved CDC DENV-1-4 Real-Time Reverse Transcription-PCR with a Laboratory-Developed Assay for Dengue Virus Detection and Serotyping
TLDR
A laboratory-developed rRT-PCR proved more clinically sensitive than the FDA-approved CDC assay for DENV serotypes 1 to 4 when measured against a composite reference standard, with sensitivities of 97.4% versus 87.1%, respectively.
Universal Single-Probe RT-PCR Assay for Diagnosis of Dengue Virus Infections
TLDR
The validation of the RT-PCR assay presented here indicates that this technique can be a reliable diagnostic tool, and hence it is suggested that it be introduced as the method of choice during the first 5 days of dengue symptoms.
Development and Evaluation of Fluorogenic TaqMan Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assays for Detection of Dengue Virus Types 1 to 4
TLDR
The DV genome was detected in all the 35 serum samples from confirmed dengue cases by the TaqMan RT-PCR, although it was not detected in 13 and 21% by conventional type-specific and cross-reactive RT- PCR, respectively.
Analytical and Clinical Performance of the CDC Real Time RT-PCR Assay for Detection and Typing of Dengue Virus
TLDR
Results indicate that the CDC DENV-1–4 RT-PCR Assay provides a reliable diagnostic platform capable for confirming dengue in suspected cases.
Development of Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assays To Detect and Serotype Dengue Viruses
TLDR
The conventional gel-based, heminested detection method was adapted for the C-prM protocol for detecting and serotyping dengue viruses and was found to be more sensitive than the NS5 or the 3′NC protocol.
Highly Sensitive Detection of Dengue Virus Nucleic Acid in Samples from Clinically Ill Patients
TLDR
TMA is a highly sensitive method which can detect DENV RNA in approximately 89% of clinical, acute-phase serum specimens, and among patients with serologically confirmed dengue infection, TMA detected DENVRNA in almost 80% of serum specimens that were negative by the RT-PCR test used for diagnosis.
Dengue: a potential transfusion‐transmitted disease
TLDR
Cases of dengue after receipt of blood products or donor organs or tissue and after occupational exposure in a health care setting have been reported, and transfusion risk models and assessments of viremia prevalence among blood donations indicate the potential for transfusion transmission of DENV in endemic areas.
Dengue viremia in blood donors from Honduras, Brazil, and Australia
TLDR
This data indicates that transfusion transmission of West Nile virus raised concern regarding transfusion‐transmitted dengue virus (DENV) and the need to further investigate this issue.
Dengue viremia in blood donors identified by RNA and detection of dengue transfusion transmission during the 2007 dengue outbreak in Puerto Rico
TLDR
Blood donations were tested for dengue virus (DENV) RNA and recipients of RNA‐positive donations traced to assess transfusion transmission and no new cases were reported in Puerto Rico in 2007.
