Abstract

The largest outbreak of dengue in Buenos Aires, Argentina, occurred during 2016. Phylogenetic, phylodynamic, and phylogeographic analyses of 82 samples from dengue patients revealed co-circulation of 2 genotype V dengue virus lineages, suggesting that this virus has become endemic to the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

Keywords: 2016 outbreak; Argentina; Buenos Aires; Dengue virus; genotype V; phylogeny; vector-borne infections; viruses.
