title: DengueInfo: A web portal to dengue information resources.
abstract: DengueInfo (http://www.dengueinfo.org) is a web portal and database that brings clarity to dengue research by integrating the growing number of complete genome sequences of dengue virus with relevant literature and curated epidemiological information. Additionally, it represents a repository of on-going prospective and retrospective studies of dengue disease severity. We intend the database to be a flagship resource for the dengue community, providing standardized and high quality information and facilitating research into key aspects of dengue biology and assisting in its control. To aid this process we also introduce a standard nomenclature for dengue isolates inspired by globally accepted system used for influenza virus.
