Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the 240 bp E/NS1 junction of 81 dengue viruses isolated from cases in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia was determined and used to serotype the viruses. The nucleotide sequences of the complete Envelope (E) genes of 19 isolates were used for a phylogenetic analysis of the dengue viruses circulating in Saudi Arabia from 1994 to 2006. Three of the four dengue serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2 and DENV-3) were...
