Potential antiviral approaches

In cell culture experiments Morpholino antisense oligos have shown specific activity against Dengue virus.[2]

In 2002 the Swiss pharma company Novartis and the Singapore Economic Development board created the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases (NITD). NITD is a public-private partnership that researches neglected tropical disease. NITD's dengue unit is researching anti-viral drug discovery to treat or prevent dengue fever.

In 2006, a group of Argentine scientists directed by Andrea Gamarnik discovered the molecular replication mechanism of the virus, which could be attacked by disruption the polymerase's work.[3]
