Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of all four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes has increased dramatically in recent years in many tropical and sub-tropical countries accompanied by an increase in genetic diversity within each serotype. This expansion in genetic diversity is expected to give rise to viruses with altered antigenicity, virulence, and transmissibility. We previously demonstrated the co-circulation of multiple DENV...
