Beremans Ltd, the Cambridge-based business intelligence company (www.beremans.com), today
announced publication of an invited review on progress in dengue vaccines. The paper, entitled
“Recent progress in dengue vaccine research and development”, is published in the peer-reviewed
journal Current Opinion in Molecular Therapeutics (Curr Opin Mol Ther. 2010;12(1):31-8), and
presents an analysis of recent efforts aimed at developing vaccines against dengue fever. The
commercial prospects associated with public and private sector dengue vaccines, both in the
developed and the developing world, have recently been published in a separate Beremans report
(http://www.beremans.com/reports/reportDetail.asp?id=1 ).
Dr Nicholas Miller, Managing Director of Beremans Ltd, said “Being invited to write a review on this
topic for a Current Opinion journal is an indication of our reputation in the vaccine field, especially with
regard to vaccines relevant to travellers. It supports our claim that we follow and understand the
implications of critical developments in the areas in which we specialise, which enables us to execute
business intelligence projects from a position of strength. Having a good understanding of the science
and technology of dengue vaccine development of course feeds into other projects, not least our
report on the commercial prospects for dengue vaccines, which is a highly detailed market
assessment based on, inter alia, our proprietary model of international travel from over 20 developed
economies to over 100 endemic countries.”
Dengue fever is a disease associated primarily with urban and peri-urban regions in tropical and subtropical
regions, and is thought to be responsible for over 35 million symptomatic infections annually.
The incidence and severity of dengue infections appear to be growing, making it a major global public
health concern. The review may be accessed via the Current Opinion in Molecular Therapeutics
journal website at http://www.biomedcentral.com/curropinmolther/; and the Beremans report on
commercial prospects for dengue vaccines is available at
