BANGKOK, Feb 22 - According to the reports from Thai News Agency (TNA) on Tuesday; the world's first dengue hemorrhagic fever vaccine has been produced by Thai scientists.
The Thai researchers are now collaborating with the private sector to further develop the vaccine for its more successful treatment of patients with reduced infections.
A lecturer of Mahidol University, Dr. Suthee Yoksarn, together with his group and Chiang Mai University have mutually developed four stereotypes of the live attenuated vaccine by combining attenuated DNA with a protein structure that stimulates immunity against the dengue hemorrhagic fever--caused by the present strain of the dengue virus.
Virachai Virameteekul, Thai Science and Technology Minister, stated that the number of dengue hemorrhagic fever patients in Thailand has mounted, exceeding 100,000 last year and adding some 1,200 cases in January 2011.
The recently produced vaccine is believed to better protect people from the dengue hemorrhagic fever.
