DENV serotypes 1–4 circulation in Nicaragua during 1998–2022. Data on dengue cases with serotype information available were obtained from the Nicaraguan Dengue Surveillance Program; many more cases were confirmed via serology that are not included here because the serotype is unknown. A) Total dengue cases by serotype and year. B) Percentage of circulating dengue cases by serotype and year. C) Case count of each serotype identified by real-time reverse transcription PCR over time during January–December 2022. DENV, dengue virus.
