Figure 1. Phylogenetic trees of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes 1 (A), 2 (B), and 3 (C), inferred from an alignment of the 2017 Burkina Faso dengue virus outbreak genomes (boldface) and all other complete genomes from US National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Virus Pathogen Database and Analysis Resource (http://www.viprbrc.org) and pruned to representative genotypes. The Burkina Faso genomes were DENV-1 genotype V, DENV-2 genotype Cosmopolitan, and DENV-3 genotype III. GenBank accession numbers are provided for reference genomes.
