Genetic analysis of imported dengue virus strains by Iranian travelers

Publication date: November 2016 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease, Volume 6, Issue 11 Author(s): Nariman Shahhosseini, Sadegh Chinikar, Norbert Nowotny, Anthony R. Fooks, Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit Abstract Dengue virus sequences used in this study were obtained from two Iranian patients who were both with a history of traveling to Malaysia. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree demonstrated that two sequences were grouped into dengue virus 1. Specifically, strains Iran-DF1 and Iran-DF2 clustered in genotype I and III, respectively.
