Phylogenetic tree of DENV serotypes identified in cross-border travelers entering Yunnan Province, China, from Myanmar during 2017. A) DENV-1; B) DENV-2; C) DENV-3; D) DENV-4. The phylogenetic trees were constructed by the maximum-likelihood method with a Kimura 2 parameter model using MEGA 7.0 software (https://www.megasoftware.net). Bootstrap values were set for 1,000 repetitions. Black dots denote strains from this study, and black triangles denote strains from our previous study (2,3). GenBa
