The evolution of dengue-2 viruses in Malindi, Kenya and greater East Africa: epidemiological and immunological implications

2019-11-20

Abstract excerpt

Kenya experiences a substantial burden of dengue, yet there are very few DENV-2 sequence data available from this country and indeed the entire continent of Africa. We therefore undertook whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis of fourteen dengue virus (DENV)-2 strains sampled from Malindi sub-County Hospital during the 2017 DENV-2 outbreak in the Kenyan coast. We further performed an extended East Afric...
