Isolation, identification, and phylogenetic analysis of a dengue virus strain from Aedes albopictus collected in Mawei town in Guizhou Province, China

摘要

@@ Dengue virus (DEN), a single-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae, is transmitted from one infected person or animal to another by the mosquitos Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. There are four serotypes of the dengue virus (serotypes 1-4). The virus is responsible for dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). In the recent years, the incidence rate of DF/DHF has been increasing around the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical zones. Dengue is the most significant arthropod-borne viral disease affecting public health.1
