Dengue Virus Type 1 Infection in Traveler Returning from Benin to France, 2019
Abstract
We investigated a case of dengue virus type 1 infection acquired in Benin. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the strain belongs to genotype V but clusters with Asian, rather than with known African, strains. Our finding suggests the introduction of Asian dengue virus in West Africa.
