Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus (DENV) poses a growing risk in Tanzania, yet its genetic diversity in mosquito populations remains poorly understood. Using Nanopore sequencing, we recovered full coding sequences from six DENV-2 positive mosquito pools collected in Dar es Salaam outside recognized outbreak periods. Phylogenetic analysis placed these sequences in a distinct monophyletic clade within genotype II, separate from strains...
