title: Dengue virus type-3 infection in a traveler returning from Benin to Japan.
abstract: Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a major health threat for travelers. We describe here a case of dengue virus serotype-3 (DENV-3) infection in a traveler returning to Japan from the Republic of Benin. The isolated DENV-3 genotype 3 strain exhibited high sequence similarity to those from neighboring regions.
