T1 - Diversity and Origin of Dengue Virus Serotypes 1, 2, and 3, Bhutan T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2009 VL - 15 IS - 10 SP - 1630 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To determine the serotype and genotype of dengue virus (DENV) in Bhutan, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of complete envelope gene sequences. DENV-2 (Cosmopolitan genotype) predominated in 2004, and DENV-3 (genotype III) predominated in 2005–2006; these viruses were imported from India. Primary dengue infections outnumbered secondary infections, suggesting recent emergence.
