Genetic analysis of imported dengue virus strains by Iranian travelers
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Dengue virus sequences used in this study were obtained from two Iranian patients who were both with a history of traveling to Malaysia. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree demonstrated that two sequences were grouped into dengue virus 1. Specifically, strains IranDF1 and Iran-DF2 clustered in genotype I and III, respectively.
