In dengue hyperendemic regions, the evolution of the virus is marked by frequent virus introduction/reintroduction and clade replacement events, occasionally linked to an epidemic outbreak. From 2023 onwards, an increase in the detection of DENV-3 cases has been reported in different regions of Brazil. Thus, molecular and genomic surveillance of circulating DENV strains is crucial for public health preparedness and response efforts for the disease.
This work aimed to characterize and provide preliminary insights into dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3) re-emergence in São Paulo state, Brazil.
We conducted active arbovirus molecular surveillance on samples from patients with acute febrile illness combined with next-generation sequencing and phylogenetic analyses.
We detected and characterized DENV-3 circulation in São Paulo, Brazil, since late 2023. The genomes clustered within genomes recently (2022-2024) identified in Florida, the Caribbean region, and Brazil.
Our results demonstrate the resurgence of DENV-3 in the region since 2009, raising concerns about a potential outbreak in regions with a high epidemic history.
在登革热高度流行地区,病毒的进化特征是频繁的病毒引入/再引入以及分支替换事件,偶尔与疫情爆发有关。自2023年起,巴西不同地区报告的登革热病毒3型(DENV-3)病例检测有所增加。因此,对循环中的登革热病毒株进行分子和基因组监测对于该疾病的公共卫生防范和应对工作至关重要。
本研究旨在对巴西圣保罗州登革热病毒3型(DENV-3)的再次出现进行特征描述并提供初步见解。
我们对急性发热疾病患者的样本进行了主动虫媒病毒分子监测,并结合了下一代测序和系统发育分析。
自2023年末以来,我们在巴西圣保罗检测到并鉴定了DENV-3的传播情况。这些基因组聚集在最近(2022 - 2024年)在佛罗里达州、加勒比地区和巴西发现的基因组范围内。
我们的结果表明,自2009年以来该地区DENV-3再次出现,这引发了对高流行历史地区可能爆发疫情的担忧。
