title: Dengue virus 3 genotype 1 associated with dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever, Brazil.
abstract: Dengue serotype 3 viruses were isolated from patients in Brazil from 2002 through 2004. On the basis of phylogenetic analyses, these isolates were assigned genotype 1. This genotype had never been reported in South America before. Its appearance indicates a major risk factor for dengue epidemics and severe disease.
