Diversity and Origin of Dengue Virus Serotypes 1, 2, and 3, Bhutan
نویسندگان
چکیده
To determine the serotype and genotype of dengue virus (DENV) in Bhutan, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of complete envelope gene sequences. DENV-2 (Cosmopolitan genotype) predominated in 2004, and DENV-3 (genotype III) predominated in 2005-2006; these viruses were imported from India. Primary dengue infections outnumbered secondary infections, suggesting recent emergence.

Epidemiological and Molecular Characterization of Dengue Virus Circulating in Bhutan, 2013-2014
Dengue is one of the most significant public health problems in tropical and subtropical countries, and is increasingly being detected in traditionally non-endemic areas. In Bhutan, dengue virus (DENV) has only recently been detected and limited information is available. In this study, we analyzed the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of DENV in two southern districts in Bhutan from...
متن کاملLimited cross-reactivity of mouse monoclonal antibodies against Dengue virus capsid protein among four serotypes
BACKGROUND Dengue illness is one of the important mosquito-borne viral diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. Four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4) are classified in the Flavivirus genus of the family Flaviviridae. We prepared monoclonal antibodies against DENV capsid protein from mice immunized with DENV-2 and determined the cross-reactivity with each serot...

Dengue virus is an arbovirus belonging to family flaviviridae causes dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Dengue virus circulates in most tropical and subtropical regions or the world with 50–100 million human cases annually. Dengue viruses have four known serotypes designated as DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4, with each serotype can cause full spectrum of sign and symptoms...

Dengue viruses, like many RNA viruses are highly mutagenic, which have a potential to generate approximately one nucleotide mutation per round of genome replication (Domingo, Escarmis et al. 1996). The extent of genetic diversity differs among the sylvatic/urban cycles, chronologically isolates, serotypes and genotypes of Dengue viruses. All four serotypes of Dengue viruses (DENV-1 to DENV-4) e...
متن کاملGenetic relationships of the dengue virus serotypes.
Previous studies have compared RNA genomes from the different dengue virus serotypes by cDNA-RNA hybridization using dengue-1 virus- and dengue-2 virus-specific cDNA probes. These probes revealed that there is a close genetic relationship between dengue virus serotypes 1 and 4. In this communication, the cDNA-RNA hybridization results using dengue-3- and dengue-4-specific cDNA probes to determi...
