Figure 2. Phylogenetic reconstruction of dengue virus 1 from a dengue outbreak response during COVID-19 pandemic, Key Largo, Florida, USA, 2020. A) Central American lineage, 1986–2014; B) Caribbean lineage, 2008–2020. Maximum-likelihood tree of genotype V was inferred by using envelope gene sequences representing the Central American and Caribbean lineages. Red text indicates sequences obtained in this study. Sequence FL-Miami_human_2020 was obtained from a Miami-Dade County resident with recent travel history to Cuba. We obtained 2 sequences (GenBank accession nos. OM909246 and OM909247) from the National Reference Laboratory for Arboviruses, French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute, Bretigny-sur-Orge, France. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
