Molecular Epidemiology of Dengue Virus Strains from Finnish Travelers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We characterized 11 dengue virus (DENV) isolates obtained from Finnish travelers during 2000-2005 using monoclonal antibodies and phylogenetic analysis. The analysis of DENV isolated from travelers contributes to the global picture of strain distribution and circulation. The isolates included all serotypes, including a DENV-2 isolate from Ghana.

Molecular surveillance of circulating dengue genotypes through European travelers.
BACKGROUND Dengue viruses (DENV) are the most widespread arthropod-borne viruses, which have shown an unexpected geographic expansion, as well as an increase in number and severity of outbreaks in the last decades. Although the emergence of dengue is considered to be due to a number of complex factors, epidemiological studies have shown that some strains of dengue might be associated with incre...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and New Lineages of Dengue Virus Serotypes 3 and 4 in Returning Travelers, Germany, 2006–2015
During 2006-2015, we analyzed 70 dengue virus (DENV) strains isolated from febrile travelers returning to Germany. High genetic diversity, including multiple co-circulating DENV lineages and emerging new lineages of DENV-3 and DENV-4, was demonstrated. Our passive surveillance system based on returning travelers yielded substantial information on DENV diversity.
متن کاملUse of a short fragment of the C-terminal E gene for detection and characterization of two new lineages of dengue virus 1 in India.
Here we propose the use of a 216-nucleotide fragment located in the carboxyl terminus of the E gene (E-COOH) and a pairwise-based comparison method for genotyping of dengue virus 1 (DENV-1) strains. We have applied this method to the detection and characterization of DENV-1 in serum samples from travelers returning from the tropics. The results obtained with the typing system correlate with the...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of dengue virus reveals the high relatedness between imported and local strains during the 2013 dengue outbreak in Yunnan, China: a retrospective analysis
BACKGROUND An outbreak of dengue virus (DENV) occurred in Yunnan province. More than 2,000 individuals were infected from August to November 2013. In this study, we aimed to characterize the origin and prevalence of DENV in Dehong prefecture of Yunnan province using phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of DENV strains collected from local patients and foreign travelers. METHODS A total of 4...
متن کاملPhylogenetic characteristics of dengue virus revealed the high relatedness
25 Background: An outbreak of dengue occurred in Yunnan province with more than 26 2,000 infected cases from August to November of the past 2013. To characterize this 27 DENV prevalence in Dehong prefecture of Yunnan and explore its origin, 28 phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis on the DENV strains collected from local 29 patients and imported travelers were performed comparatively. 30 Metho...
