The article\u00a0The emergence of dengue as a virological challenge: from phantom disease to \u201cpet\u201d endemic, 1986-1987<\/a>\u00a0explores how dengue presented a virological challenge and mobilized efforts by virologists and scientists\u00a0during the 1980s in order to\u00a0build expertise in arboviral diseases.<\/p>\n Although outbreaks were reported throughout the twentieth century, dengue was barely known in the Americas until the epidemic of dengue fever in Cuba in 1981. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is still a major challenge at the present time, with new outbreaks every year due to the co-circulation of the four serotypes of the virus.<\/p>\n In this article published in the latest issue of HCS-Manguinhos (Apr-Jun\u00a02022) Jorge Tibilletti de Lara,\u00a0<\/strong>Doctoral candidate at Casa de Oswaldo Cruz\/Fiocruz, explores the main impacts of this disease on\u00a0Oswaldo Cruz Institute\u00a0<\/em>(IOC), on the careers of scientists, on the incorporation of new laboratory techniques for the study of viruses and particularly arboviral diseases, and on the way virology positioned itself with regard to new problems in the sphere of public health. This study brings new sources to the historiography and presents some novelties as well as analytical possibilities, and primarily emphasizes the role of viruses and virology in discussions on disease and public health.<\/p>\n Lara, Jorge Tibilletti de.
