Serological survey
A blood sample will be taken to estimate the specific serotype prevalence for dengue virus in groups of 5 to 35 years in areas of low and high dengue endemicity.

Diagnostic Test: Estimate the distribution of antibodies by serotype by Dengue virus in areas of low and high incidence of dengue
Indirect IgG ELISA to estimate seroprevalence: The seropositivity will be evaluated with the Indirect IgG ELISA following the instructions of the Panbio E-DEN 01 G manufacturer, which has a specificity of 98% and a sensitivity of 100%. In brief, 10 microliters of participant serum will be used for each assay. Each kit provides a positive and negative control, as well as three calibrators, with the respective values for quality control. Samples will be classified as positive, negative or indeterminate according to the cut-off point for each ELISA kit. Neutralizing antibody titers serotype-specific: To establish the type of humoral immunity that the selected city presents, the measurement of the neutralizing antibody titers will be carried out by means of the neutralization test by reducing the number of lytic plaques to 50% (PRNT50%) , using Vero cells and the following reference strains for each serotype: DENV-1 (HAWAI), DENV-2 (NEW GUINEA), DENV-3 (H-887) and DENV-4 (H-24) Other Names:
|
- Percentage of participants with Dengue IgG antibodies [ Time Frame: four months ]Using ELISA for IgG-Indirect, results might be positive, negative or undetermined
- Ratio of neutralizing antibodies against DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and/or DENV4 [ Time Frame: Six months ]Using PRNT, values might be 1:20, 1:40, 1:80, 1:160, 1:320 and 1:640.
- Percentage of participants with monotypic and multitypic response [ Time Frame: eight months ]Monotypic: antibodies against one serotype Multitypic: antibodies against more than one serotype
