Dengue type 3 virus spread during a 2003-2004 outbreak on Saint Martin island. Genetic analysis revealed its origin linked to viruses from Martinique.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Saint Martin island experienced a dengue virus outbreak during the winter of 2003-2004.
  • Dengue type 3 had not been detected on the island for the previous three years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the spread and origin of dengue virus during the 2003-2004 outbreak on Saint Martin island.
  • To identify the specific dengue serotype involved in the outbreak.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of dengue viruses from patients presenting clinical symptoms.
  • Genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the isolated dengue viruses.

Main Results:

  • Dengue type 3 viruses were successfully isolated from six patients.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Genomic analysis indicated a shared origin between the Saint Martin dengue type 3 viruses and those previously found in Martinique.

    • Conclusions:

    • The 2003-2004 outbreak on Saint Martin was caused by Dengue type 3.
    • The virus likely originated from Martinique, highlighting potential viral transmission routes in the French West Indies.
