Aedes aegypti � Introduction to the Scientific Aspects of Vector |
 |
The set of video lessons was designed to help the population learn a little more about the mosquito, the disease and its impacts. The initiative presents, in a simple and objective way, information that can also contribute to the routine of different audiences, such as teachers, students and communication professionals, making them true multipliers of knowledge and collaborating to the prevention of dengue. The video lessons are available in ten thematic modules, which can be watched separately or in full. |

The macro and micro world of the mosquito Aedes aegypti � to fight it you need to know it |
 |
A strategic tool for disseminating knowledge about dengue and its vector, the work mixes real and virtual images that describe in detail the mosquito's life cycle and draw attention to the need to control natural and artificial breeding sites in the Aedes aegypti. Among the prizes it has won are second place at the Mif-Sciences Festival, in Cuba, in June 2006; honorable mention of the World Association of Medicine and Health Films (WAMHF, in its acronym in English), in November 2006, and of the 44th TECHFILM International Festival, in the Czech Republic, in March 2007. |

Aedes aegypti e Aedes albopictus: a threat in the tropics |
 |
The documentary depicts the life cycle of dengue and yellow fever vectors. The dispersion of insects around the world down to their morphological characteristics, eating habits, reproduction and the environment where they live are themes of the work. Launched in 2009, the video won the 7th International Medical and Scientific Film Festival � Videomed de C�rdoba 2009, in the Education for Health category, and the popular 2009 International Videoscience Festival, held in Havana, Cuba. The production was also shown at the Vedere la Scienza festival, in Italy, in which it was the only film from the American continent to participate in the special Biodiversity exhibition. In 2010, he was awarded at the International Festival Videomed Tucuman 2010 (Argentina) in the Health Promotion category, in Chile he won the special jury prize and won the general prize at the XVII International Film Festival Medical, Health and Telemedicine (Viomed 2010), held in Badajoz, Spain. |

Dengue I
Playing to discover news
In this issue, four activities reveal in a playful way the biology, morphology and life habits of the Aedes aegypti, mosquito that transmits dengue. Using puzzles and a game of mistakes, the student is invited to compare it to another mosquito of the same genus (the Aedes albopictus, which transmits dengue in Asian countries) and the common mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus). The memory game, on the other hand, invites you to learn about the stages of the vector's life cycle. |

Dengue II
The path of the dengue virus
This booklet provides simplified information on mosquito biology, ecology and morphology Aedes aegypti, infected or not by the dengue virus. Through playful elements, recreational activities are proposed to establish knowledge about the life cycle of the dengue vector, with the aim of finding answers to the question: what to do to control the spread What about dengue? |

Atlas of Dengue Virus Morphology and Morphogenesis |
 |
The contents of the Dengue Virus Morphology and Morphogenesis Atlas, which presents the dengue virus and general aspects of infected cells, can be accessed online for free at the IOC. The publication, all in English, describes the morphology of the life cycle of the dengue virus through 115 images accompanied by explanatory texts. The morphogenesis of virus replication is described and discussed by author and head of the Viral Morphology and Morphogenesis Laboratory, Monika Barth. The version available for download has been compressed, so the images are not in printable resolution. Those interested in obtaining copies of the printed version can request by email barth@ioc.fiocruz.br.

Manual Experimental animal model to study the pathogenesis of dengue virus serotypes 1 and 2 |
 |
A pioneer in the country, the manual Experimental animal model for studying the pathogenesis of dengue viruses serotypes 1 and 2 synthesizes and describes techniques applied in an experimental murine model for the study of dengue viruses types 1 and 2 and can serve as a guidance tool for researchers in the development of test candidates for vaccines and drugs against the disease. The publication is signed by researchers from the Morphology and Viral Morphogenesis Laboratory of IOC, Débora Barreto Vieira and Monika Barth, together with Hermann Schatzmayr, a prominent virologist on the national scene who died in June 2010; it is a posthumous work by the specialist. The manual is a publication by the Interscience publishing house, produced in partnership with the Research Support Foundation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ). The copy can be purchased through the publisher's website or at bookstores that are listed by their electronic address.
