Study Start Date: | January 2006 |
Dengue is a desease that affects 100 million people throughout the world mainly in tropical countries in the South Pacific, Asia, the Caribbean, and Africa. The disease often presents with high fever, severe headache, and joint/muscle pain that usually goes away on its own, but it can also present as a sometimes deadly hemorrhagic (bleeding) disease. Humans catch this disease by being bitten by mosquitoes that have been infected with dengue virus. Scientists at the Naval Medical Research Center have been working on vaccines to prevent dengue disease. This vaccine, referred to as D1ME, is an experimental DNA vaccine that contains genes from the dengue-1 virus. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new experimental vaccine against dengue and to see if the vaccine can stimulate the immune system.
