Origin and Spread of the Dengue Virus Type 1, Genotype V in Senegal, 2015-2019

Idrissa Dieng et al.

Summary: The outbreak caused by DENV-1 in urban environments in Senegal and Mali after 2015 was attributed to a single viral introduction from Asia. The virus appeared to have been introduced directly into Medina Gounass, Senegal around 2014 and subsequently spread to other regions within Senegal before moving to neighboring Mali.

Emergence of dengue virus serotype 2 in Mauritania and molecular characterization of its circulation in West Africa

Toscane Fourie et al.

Summary: In recent years, the number of sporadic and epidemic dengue fever cases has been increasing in some West African countries like Senegal and Mali. The first laboratory-confirmed epidemic of dengue fever in Nouakchott, Mauritania was reported in 2014, highlighting the presence of the disease in the region and the need for further virus tracing and research.

Dengue Virus Infection and Associated Risk Factors in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Gaspary O. Mwanyika et al.

Summary: Dengue fever poses a significant burden on global public health and economies, and in Africa, the dominant serotypes are DENV-1 and DENV-2. Between 2009 and 2020, a total of 2211 cases were reported, with 88.4% occurring during outbreaks. The overall prevalence of dengue was 29%, with 3% during outbreak periods. Old age, lack of mosquito control, urban residence, climate change, and recent travel history are the main risk factors identified.

Genomic investigation of a dengue virus outbreak in Thies, Senegal, in 2018

Amy Gaye et al.

Summary: In late 2018, Senegal faced its largest outbreak of Dengue virus with 19 cases identified from 198 individuals with fever, showing co-circulation of three serotypes. The genetic diversity of DENV in Senegal is still not well understood, highlighting the need for better genomic characterization in West Africa. No clear associations were found with reported clinical signs or symptoms, emphasizing the importance of testing for diagnosing febrile diseases.

Multifoci and multiserotypes circulation of dengue virus in Senegal between 2017 and 2018

Idrissa Dieng et al.

Summary: This study identified three dengue virus serotypes circulating in all regions of Senegal and a specific area, Thies, with DENV-3 being the most commonly detected. The co-circulation of different serotypes was observed in several sampling locations, highlighting the importance of continuous surveillance to detect cases, define circulating strains, and prevent severe outcomes.

Evolution, heterogeneity and global dispersal of cosmopolitan genotype of Dengue virus type 2

Surya Pavan Yenamandra et al.

Summary: A study investigated the evolution, intra-genotype heterogeneity, and dispersal of the cosmopolitan genotype of dengue virus type 2, identifying six distinct lineages within it. The Indian sub-continent lineage was found to be the most diverged and may qualify as a separate genotype. Differences in evolutionary characteristics between this lineage and others were also revealed.
