“…albopictus C6/36 cell line have been routinely used for dengue diagnosis in Brazil (Schatzmayr et al 1986, Figueiredo et al 1992, Vasconcelos et al 1993).

“…This large number of cases may be a consequence of a lack of immunity in a population exposed for the first time to a given dengue viral serotype. A dengue virus type 1 (DENV1) outbreak is known to have started in Ribeirão Preto in November 1990 7 , and DENV2 and DENV3 were introduced in São Paulo State in 1997 and 2003, respectively (see http:// www.cve.saude.sp.gov.br/). Thus, the highest peaks in the time series shown in Figure 1 may be a direct consequence of the introduction or reintroduction of different serotypes.…”
