In silico identification and study of potential anti-mosquito juvenile hormone binding protein (MJHBP) compounds as candidates for dengue virus - Vector insecticides

Dengue has become a huge global health burden. It is currently recognized as the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease. Yet, there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific therapeutics to manage the virus, thus, scaling up vector control approaches is important in controlling thi...

description Dengue has become a huge global health burden. It is currently recognized as the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease.

The study was implemented using series of computational methods.
