*IgM, immunoglobulin M; M-PCR, multiplex typing PCR described by Lanciotti et al. (10); S-PCR, single serotype-specific primer PCR; D, dengue serotype; BLAST, basic local alignment search tool; NS, not sequenced.
†Viral antigens detected by immunofluorescence with type-specific monoclonal antibodies.
‡Isolate AM750 is from a person with a co-infection; different clones were sequenced.
