| phylogenetic analysis of dengue-3 viruses prevalent in guatemala during 1996-1998. | dengue is an acute viral disease transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito which is present in most tropical urban areas of the world. there are four antigenically distinct serotypes, designated dengue-1 (den-1), dengue-2 (den-2), dengue-3 (den-3) and dengue-4 virus (den-4). in this study, we determined the serotypes of dengue viruses isolated in guatemala in 1995-1998, and found that den-3 viruses appeared in 1995 and became predominant in the following three years. we then sequenced cdnas from ... | 2001 | 11556713 |
| letter to the editor: molecular genotyping of dengue virus types 2 and 4 from the guatemalan and honduran epidemics of 2007 using the envelope glycoprotein gene. | eight serum specimens collected from dengue patients in guatemala and honduras during the central american epidemic of 2007 were analyzed. virus identification and serotyping performed by a nested rt-pcr assay revealed two denv-1 isolates from guatemala, four denv-2 isolates, two each from guatemala and honduras, and two denv-4 isolates from honduras. viral genotyping determined by phylogenetic analysis of the complete envelope gene sequences demonstrated that the denv-2 isolates from guatemala ... | 2011 | 21234665 |

| imported dengue fever: an important reemerging disease. | fever in a returned traveler from the tropics often poses a diagnostic challenge to the emergency department physician because of the potential for serious morbidity and mortality associated with certain infections such as falciparum malaria and dengue. we report a case of imported dengue fever in a 15-year-old adolescent boy acquired during a recent travel to guatemala. dengue fever is a mosquito-transmitted viral infection of global importance. the majority of us residents with dengue become i ... | 2009 | 19915431 |
