Phylogenetic analysis of a dengue virus (DENV) type 4 strain isolate (boldface) from a patient in Israel who apparently acquired DENV in Angola in 2014, showing close relationship with isolates from Brazil. The DENV isolate was aligned with representative DENV sequences from around the world, representing serotypes 1–4. Reference strains, downloaded from public databases (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore), are identified by accession number, place, and year of isolation (DENV-4 isolates) or b

Reference strains, downloaded from public databases (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore), are identified by accession number, place, and year of isolation (DENV-4 isolates) or by serotype, accession number, and year of isolation (DENV-1–3 isolates). Specific branches indicate bootstrap values. Scale bar indicates percentage identity difference.
