The purpose of this research study is to test a weakened form of an experimental dengue virus challenge at different doses to test if participants develop symptoms or circulating virus in the blood (called viremia). When volunteers are exposed to dengue on purpose, it is called a "challenge" or Dengue Human Infection Model (DHIM). The research team is collecting information about the safety of the challenge and the best dose to use. The information may help the research team to make a dengue challenge (a DHIM) that will test vaccines to protect people from dengue. The duration of participation will last for 180 days (six months) after challenge including up to 22 visits. After participants are exposed to the weakened dengue virus, the research team will follow them closely to measure their symptoms. Like the flu, participants might expect to have a headache, rash, body aches, fever and chills or they may experience no symptoms whatsoever. If participants do develop symptoms, the research team will monitor them closely in a local hotel or a wing of our hospital to ensure safety and to treat symptoms if they occur.
