When I hover my mouse cursor over the publication icon, I see the following text.

  • This is article has been published in the peer reviewed journal Open Medicine. Click to view the published version.

The word "is" should be removed, but I do not know how to do it. Also, I prefer "peer-reviewed" with a hyphen. Please see http://www.onelook.com/?w=peer+reviewed&ls=a.

There are only 4 types of Dengue fever virus, not 5 as cited in the wikipedia page 2607:B400:24:4003:1B1:D6EC:2176:28 (talk) 14:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Taylor[reply]

Picture Inaccuracy?

I'm no doctor, but the first picture of the resulting rash clearly shows the imprint of a hand. Does the rash cause imprints when pressed, can it naturally look like that, or is the picture wrong? 71.191.220.181 (talk) 04:13, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is blanchable and was pressed by a hand. Will clarify this. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copy and paste

This was copied from sources

"As part Dengue prevention and awareness, International Anti-Dengue Day is being observed on 15th June in different parts of the world especially in the Indian subcontinent and ASEAN region. [2] ASEAN Dengue Day is an advocacy event held every 15 June from 2011 [3] on to increase public awareness of dengue, to mobilize resources for its prevention and control, and to demonstrate the region’s commitment to tackling the disease. The advocacy event was agreed upon during the 10th ASEAN Health Ministers Meeting in 2010. The first regional event was held in 2011 in Jakarta, Indonesia, while Myanmar hosted the regional celebration in Yangon in 2012. WHO has provided technical and financial support to the ASEAN Secretariat and the ASEAN Member States for the Dengue Day activities since its inception. In 2013 ASEAN Dengue Day regional commemorative programme was held in Hanoi, VietNam, and was attended by representatives of ASEAN and international partners. The theme for 2013 was: ASEAN unity for a dengue-free community. [4]"

I was thinking of adding a link from the last sentence of the third paragraph to an article titled dengue vaccine, which needs work, including addition of some recent developments. 223.204.246.120 (talk) 02:36, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

I have moved back the tag [6]. The most important thing is the content IMO. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:25, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the opening paragraphs, it states that there is no commercially available vaccine. Near the end, it mentions that Mexico just approved a vaccine (December 2015). I suggest editing the opening paragraph to say "The first commercial vaccine has been approved in Mexico and is currently under testing in several other Latin American countries. However, US approval will take additional time and is presently not forecasted." Vasky22 (talk) 04:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Management of Dengue in Tamilnadu,India

Hello KateWishing,

Like Paracetamol listed in the management section, in Tamilnadu, India, i have listed the Indian medicines which are being used by the Indian Government under Vector Borne Disease Control Programme. The source is the National health mission Tamilnadu, Department of Health & Family welfare. What is wrong in that ? Why did you remove a sourced content before discussion ? Sathishmls (talk) 18:07, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I removed that because the source does not meet WP:MEDRS. Although it's true that alternative medicine is used in India, we should not include anything in the "Management" section without comment on its efficacy. KateWishing (talk) 18:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The content is a fact that is happening in Tamilnadu, India by the Government of India for more than 2 years. Wikipedia contains facts and hence i included the exact line which is given by the Health department of India. and they clearly said that these medicines are used in management/control of Dengue in Tamilnadu. Hence the section is correct. There is no necessary to include its efficiency here. Our Indian government will not provide these medicines for its people for more than 2 years without testing its efficiency. Sathishmls (talk) 17:32, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
King_Institute_of_Preventive_Medicine_and_Research which has the Department of Virology, Guindy has already did a case-control approach [7] on these medicines. Sathishmls (talk) 17:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
