Molecular characterization of dengue virus reveals regional diversification of serotype 2 in Colombia

Abstract Dengue is hyperendemic in Colombia, where a cyclic behavior of serotype replacement leading to periodic epidemics has been observed for decades. This level of endemicity favors accumulation of dengue virus genetic diversity and could be linked to disease outcome. To assess the genetic diver...
