Figure. Reconstructed consensus tree of newly sequenced dengue virus serotype 3 isolates from São Tomé and Príncipe. The isolates clustered with and are closely related to a new monophyletic clade consisting of 218 dengue virus serotype 3 sequences detected in the Americas during 2022–2023. To improve visualization, several clades have been collapsed. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
