    Dengue is a viral infection transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It is an endemic in Sri Lanka especially in urban and suburban settings with higher transmission rates happening during the rainy season. ...
  • Detection of Dengue Co Infections Using a Novel Single Tube Multiplex Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction. 
    Jayathilake, E.K.S.; Jayarathne, J.A.J.C.; Muhandiramlage, T.P.; Fujii, Y.; Gunasekara, K.A.D.C. (In: Proceedings of the International Postgraduate Research Conference 2017 (IPRC – 2017), Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2017)
    Co-infection in individuals by more than one Dengue Virus (DENV) serotype has been reported in regions where multiple serotypes co-circulate. Co-infections can be detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Semi-nested ...
  • Knowledge and Practices towards Prevention of Dengue Fever in a Cohort of Advanced Level Students. 
    Mathangasinghe, Y.; Jayasooriya, U.G.L.B. (In: Proceedings of the International Postgraduate Research Conference 2017 (IPRC – 2017), Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2017)
    The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and practices towards Dengue fever (DF) of a group of Sri Lankan students. Materials and methods: This was a combined qualitative and quantitative study from June ...
  • Optimization of Critical Threshold Values for Aedes Mosquitoes based on Breteau Index in Kandy District of Sri Lanka. 
    Udayanga, N.W.B.A.L.; Gunathilaka, P.A.D.H.N.; Iqbal, M.C.M.; Kusumawathie, P.H.D.; Abeyewickreme, W. (In: Proceedings of the International Postgraduate Research Conference 2017 (IPRC – 2017), Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2017)
