Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: HWC, CHL, SJL, and PC are named on patents relating to the lipidated vaccine against dengue virus infection. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases policies on sharing data and materials. All other authors have no conflict of interest.
