The question arises here: Is DEN-1 the only type of dengue virus?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, there are four serotypes of Dengue all over the world such as DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and, DEN-4. These serotypes act differently because they all are almost similar but different in genetic variation. The most important thing to be noted is these all serotypes cause almost the same dengue fever in all human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #1e73be;color:#1e73be\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #1e73be;color:#1e73be\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#Structure_of_dengue_virus\" title=\"Structure of dengue virus:\">Structure of dengue virus:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#Transmission_of_the_virus_Replication_of_virus\" title=\"Transmission of the virus; Replication of virus\">Transmission of the virus; Replication of virus<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#Clinical_Features\" title=\"Clinical Features:\">Clinical Features:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#Laboratory_diagnosis\" title=\"Laboratory diagnosis:\">Laboratory diagnosis:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#Prevention\" title=\"Prevention:\">Prevention:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#An_overview_of_Dengue_Virus\" title=\"An overview of Dengue Virus:\">An overview of Dengue Virus:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#FAQs\" title=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#What_causes_Dengue\" title=\"What causes Dengue?\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\">What causes Dengue?\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#What_are_the_first_signs_and_symptoms_of_Dengue\" title=\"What are the first signs and symptoms of Dengue?\">What are the first signs and symptoms of Dengue?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#How_to_prevent_dengue_fever\" title=\"How to prevent dengue fever?\">How to prevent dengue fever?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-dengue-fever\/#Doctors_and_Researchers_Opinion\" title=\"Doctors and Researchers Opinion:\">Doctors and Researchers Opinion:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_of_dengue_virus\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Structure of dengue virus:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viruses have unique structures and almost every virus is the same on the basic level.

Dengue virus also just needs a host body to replicate in it. Dengue virus is transmitted through arthropods. It spreads through the bite of female Aedes species mosquitos.

Etc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These viruses also lay eggs in flowerpots that are filled withhold water. These mosquitos bite a healthy person and cause them Dengue. The transmission also happens from mother to offspring as the virus can pass through the fetus. It is a rare chance that this virus can spread through blood-to-blood contact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dengue virus replicates in human body cells known as fibroblasts. This also attacks Langerhans present under the skin. The virus enters the cell through the presence of receptors called\u00a0<\/span><b>Heparan sulfate proteoglycan receptors\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the process of<\/span><b>\u00a0Endocytosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
