Abstract

We characterized 11 autochthonous dengue virus serotype 3 cases from Santiago and Fogo islands (Cabo Verde), 14 years after Cabo Verde’s latest noticed DENV outbreak involving this serotype. Identified viruses are closely related to Asian strains and falling into a clade distinct from known circulating West African DENV-3/Genotype III isolates.
