Article Synopsis
- - CHIKV cases in Malaysia increased from 2019 to 2021, likely due to the virus spreading from neighboring countries and a genotype shift from earlier outbreaks, particularly linked to the Indian Ocean Islands outbreak in 2004.
- - An analysis of 56 CHIKV positive serum samples from Tangkak, Johor highlighted that the 2021 outbreak strains bore an ECSA-IOL genotype, closely resembling strains from a 2018-2019 outbreak in Thailand and showing mutation adaptations favoring different mosquito vectors.
- - The findings suggest the 2021 outbreak in Malaysia is connected to strains from the Indian subcontinent via Thailand, with notable genetic mutations potentially enhancing the virus's ability to spread and adapt to
Dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) has been the rarest circulating serotype in Malaysia, resulting in it being an understudied area. A recent observation from institutional surveillance data indicated a rapid increase in DENV-4-infected cases. The present study aimed to investigate the resurgence of DENV-4 in relation to the demographic, clinical and genomic profiles of 75 retrospective dengue samples.
