Drug Against Dengue

No existing drug can treat the dreaded mosquito-borne disease dengue. But, in a significant development, a team of Indian scientists claims to have developed a drug that can possibly cure dengue. The drug, if put through human clinical trials now, will be available after two years.

In a breakthrough move that can help in the fight against dengue, a herbal medicine against it is claimed to have been developed by scientists in India, which accounts for 50 per cent of the global population estimated to be at risk from the disease.
