Genetic characterization of newly reintroduced dengue virus type 3 in Martinique (French West Indies).
Dengue type 3 viruses were isolated from patients in Martinique between 1999 and 2002. This serotype had not been detected on the island in the last 20 years. Genomic sequence determination and analysis showed great stability of the virus during the period studied.
