The DENTHOM Project Conclusion: A Comprehensive Study on Dengue in Cambodia and Its Future Implications
On April 4th, Institut Pasteur du Cambodge conducted the final dissemination meeting of the DENTHOM project. The aim of the study was to increase our knowledge on dengue transmission in Cambodia and immunopathology of dengue disease. Information gained by IPC scientists during the study on dengue epidemiology, circulation of the virus, immune responses to dengue and presence of dengue vectors was shared with local stakeholders, such as the directors and staff of the participating hospitals, the provincial health department of Kampong Thom, the Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control, the Cambodian CDC, and representatives of the Universities. This meeting concludes the 5-year project funded by the NIH/NIAID in the context of the CREID (Centers of Research on Emerging Infectious Diseases).
