Vaccine against dengue ‘100% effective’ in test
An experimental vaccine against dengue, the world’s most common mosquito-borne virus, was 100% effective in early trials in Miami, and could speed up the pace of a vaccine against Zika, researchers said on 16 March.
Dengue, which is in the same family of flaviviruses as Zika — infects some 390 million people each year in more than 120 countries of the world.
