| an outbreak of dengue virus (denv) type 2 cosmopolitan genotype in israeli travellers returning from the seychelles, april 2017. | dengue virus infection was diagnosed in six israeli travellers returning from the seychelles in april 2017. phylogenetic analysis identified identical sequences belonging to the cosmopolitan genotype of dengue virus type 2 in all samples sequenced, thus providing evidence for a probable dengue type 2 outbreak in the seychelles. this report further demonstrates the role of travellers as sentinels for arboviral infections, especially in countries with limited diagnostic capabilities. | 2017 | 28681719 |
