Observer-blind, Single Center, Controlled Study of 2 Doses of Various Formulations of the WRAIR Live Attenuated Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine Compared to a Placebo Control, Administered on a 0-6-month Schedule, to Healthy Adults

This descriptive study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of 5 different
formulations of the WRAIR dengue vaccine compared to a placebo.

Subjects will be randomized into one of 6 groups. One group will receive a placebo vaccine
and the others will receive one of 5 different dengue vaccine formations. Each subject will
receive two doses six months apart. Study subjects who elect to participate in a mosquito
transmissibility component of the study will undergo mosquito feedings during each of the two
assigned follow-up visits after vaccine dose 1. All subjects will have 11 venipunctures
during 11 visits (i.e., screening plus 10 study visits) over a period of nine months.
