Whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of dengue virus in Central Nepal from 2022 to 2023
We identified possible clade shifts in the DENV1 and 2 populations and a rising prevalence of DENV3. Our study showed a high level of serotype diversity of DENV circulating in Central Nepal. Furthermore, our results indicate that DENV populations in Nepal are related to a geographically diverse set of sequences but are most strongly influenced by Indian strains of DENV.
