Genetic characterization of newly reintroduced dengue virus type 3 in Martinique (French West Indies).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dengue type 3 viruses were isolated from patients in Martinique between 1999 and 2002. This serotype had not been detected on the island in the last 20 years. Genomic sequence determination and analysis showed great stability of the virus during the period studied.

We describe the spread of a dengue virus during an outbreak in Saint Martin island (French West Indies) during winter 2003-2004. Dengue type 3 viruses were isolated from 6 patients exhibiting clinical symptoms. This serotype had not been detected on the island during the preceding 3 years. Genome sequence determinations and analyses showed a common origin with dengue type 3 viruses isolated in ...
متن کاملReemergence of Dengue Virus Type 4, French Antilles and French Guiana, 2004–2005
D is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes. It is caused by any of the 4 viral serotypes of dengue virus (DENV), designated DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. DENV belongs to the genus Flavivirus and family Flaviviridae. Flaviviruses are enveloped, singlestranded, positive-sense RNA viruses. The genomic RNA is ≈11 kb and has 10 genes coding 3 structural proteins (capsid [C], envelope [E], ...

Using an anti-dengue immunoglobulin G (IgG) indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, seroprevalence was determined among 783 adult blood donors in the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique in 2011. Overall, 93.5% [91.5; 95.1] samples were positive for dengue antibodies, 90.7% (350 of 386) in Martinique and 96.2% (382 of 397) in Guadeloupe. Only 30% of these adults recalled ha...

The parasite responsible for autochthonous cutaneous leishmaniasis in Martinique island (French West Indies) was first isolated in 1995; its taxonomical position was established only in 2002, but it remained unnamed. In the present paper, the authors name this parasite Leishmania (Leishmania) martiniquensis Desbois, Pratlong & Dedet n. sp. and describe the type strain of this taxon, including i...
متن کاملRole of return migration in the emergence of multiple sclerosis in the French West Indies.
The emergence of multiple sclerosis in island societies has been investigated only in a few Caucasian populations living in temperate regions. The effect of human migration on the risk of developing this disease is still an open question because of possible genetic selection. We conducted an epidemiological study of the multiple sclerosis population in the French West Indies (Martinique and Gua...
