Title
Genotype replacement of dengue virus type 3 and clade replacement of dengue virus type 2 genotype Cosmopolitan in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2017
Abstract
© 2019 The Author(s) Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease that has spread to >100 countries and is caused by the dengue virus (DENV), which belongs to the Flavivirus genus of the family Flaviviridae. DENV comprises 4 serotypes (DENV-1 to -4), and each serotype is further divided into distinct genotypes. In India, it is reported that all 4 serotypes of DENV co-circulate. Although Bangladesh is a neighboring country of India, very few reports have published DENV sequence data for the country, especially after 2012. To understand the current distribution of DENV genotypes in Bangladesh, we determined the nucleotide sequences of envelope regions obtained from 58 DENV-positive patients diagnosed at Apollo Hospitals Dhaka during the period between September 2017 and February 2018. We found 5 DENV-1, 47 DENV-2, and 6 DENV-3 serotypes. A phylogenetic analysis of the obtained viral sequences revealed that DENV-3 genotype I was present instead of DENV-3 genotype II, which was predominant in Bangladesh between 2000 and 2009. Furthermore, we found two distinct lineages of the Cosmopolitan genotype of DENV-2, one of which was closely related to strains from Southeast Asia and has never been reported previously in Bangladesh. These results indicated that DENVs in Bangladesh have increased in genotypic diversity and suggest that the DENV genotypic shift observed in other Asian countries also might have been taking place in Bangladesh.
