MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF DENGUE TYPE 3 VIRUS IN BRAZIL AND PARAGUAY, 2002–2004
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
We studied the molecular epidemiology of dengue virus type 3 (DENV-3) in Brazil and Paraguay by analyzing the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (5' and 3'UTRs) and the E protein gene of viruses isolated between 2002 and 2004. Both 5' and 3'UTRs were highly conserved. However, the 3'UTR of two isolates from Brazil contained eight nucleotide deletions compared with the remaining 26 viruses. Phylogenetic analyses...
