Abstract
ABSTRACTWe report here the complete coding sequences of two strains of dengue virus type 2, isolated in France from patients returning from Burkina Faso in November 2016. Both strains (cosmopolitan genotype) are almost identical (99.91% nucleotide identity) and closely related to a strain circulating in Burkina Faso in 1983.
Highlights
We report here the complete coding sequences of two strains of dengue virus type 2, isolated in France from patients returning from Burkina Faso in November 2016
Dengue virus (DENV)-2 RNA was detected by real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) in the serum of both patients [7]
Two DENV-2 clinical strains, called 7869191/BF/2016 and 7754691/BF/2016, respectively, were isolated from sera using C6/36 cells. Both isolates are available to the scientific community via the European Virus Archive goes Global (EVAg) project, a nonprofit organization
Summary
We report here the complete coding sequences of two strains of dengue virus type 2, isolated in France from patients returning from Burkina Faso in November 2016. In 2016, an outbreak of dengue was reported in Burkina Faso by the World Health Organization [5]. In November 2016, two travelers returning from Ouagadougou were diagnosed as having noncomplicated dengue fever in Marseille, France: a 25-year-old woman [this case was previously described [6]] and a 28-year-old woman.
