The epidemiological characteristics of dengue in high-risk areas of China, 2013-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dengue has become a more serious human health concern in China, with increased incidence and expanded outbreak regions. The knowledge of the cross-sectional and longitudinal epidemiological characteristics and the evolutionary dynamics of dengue in high-risk areas of China is limited.

Methods

Records of dengue cases from 2013 to 2016 were obtained from the China Notifiable Disease Surveillance System. Full envelope gene sequences of dengue viruses detected from the high-risk areas of China were collected. Maximum Likelihood tree and haplotype network analyses were conducted to explore the phylogenetic relationship of viruses from high-risk areas of China.

Results

A total of 56,520 cases was reported in China from 2013 to 2016. During this time, Yunnan, Gu
