There are four dengue virus serotypes, based on molecular analysis. Each serotype is divided to several different genotypes, such as there are 5 genotypes in dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), in which genotype II was confirmed to be the main etiology cause the big dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever outbreak in Vietnam 1998. Molecular epidemiological study was carried out on DENV-3, which cau...
