Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary studies on dengue virus have frequently focused on intra-serotype diversity or on specific epidemics. In this study, we compiled a comprehensive data set of the envelope gene of dengue virus serotypes and conducted an extensive comparative study of evolutionary molecular epidemiology. We found that substitution rates are homogeneous among dengue serotypes, although their population dynamics have...
