Emerg Infect Dis. 2006 Feb;12(2):343-6. doi: 10.3201/eid1202.050733.

Abstract

Dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1), which was responsible for the dengue fever outbreak in Yap State, Micronesia, in 2004, was isolated from serum samples of 4 dengue patients in Japan. Genome sequencing demonstrated that this virus belonged to genotype IV and had a 29-nucleotide deletion in the 3 noncoding region.
