“…In contrast, the DENV4 from Manaus in 2008 belonged to genotype I, which is Asiatic and has never been described on the American continent. DENV4 isolates from Manaus group together with the Philippines/1956/H241 (AY947539) and China_Guangzhou_B5 (AF289029) strains (7) . This virus has been in Manaus for several years, producing cases of acute febrile illness but most likely not spreading to other parts of Brazil.…”

“…Infections by DENV1 have the most serious symptoms [4], [5], [6]. Recently, Dengue virus infections are caused by superinfections or by the genetically mutated viruses rather than monoinfections.…”

Abstract. Dengue fever, mainly found in the tropical and subtropical regions, is carried by mosquitoes. With the help of greenhouse effect, places considered to be a Dengue safe-zone are becoming more and more dangerous. Dengue fever shows similar aspects to MERS, which caused heavy casualties in South Korea; Dengue virus does not have clear treatments nor vaccines like MERS. Development of Dengue vaccine is actively investigated lately. However, it is not easy to succeed; the fact that Dengue's 4 serotypes have different properties and that repeated infections worsen the symptoms. This research aims to analyze the 4 serotypes (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, DENV4) using SVM and ANN algorithms to investigate the constraints in the development of Dengue's vaccines and treatments.

“…However, a distinct DENV-4, belonging to genotype I, that was never reported in the Americas has infected patients from Manaus City, in the Amazon State, since 2005. This rather unexpected virus was likely introduced directly to Manaus by intense economic activity and movement of people from Asian companies, particularly from China (5) . Years later, the same DENV-4 of genotype I was reported in Northeast Brazil.…”
