DTIC ADA133982: RNA Fingerprinting as a Method for Distinguishing Dengue 1 Virus Strains

Virion RNAs of 12 geographically distinct dengue type 1 (DEN-1) virus isolates were clearly unique by RNA fingerprinting. Isolates from the same geographic area were very similar but differed from those of other areas, allowing us to establish three geographical groupings based upon percent shared oligonucleotides. Three Caribbean strains were virtually identical (85-91% homologous oligonucleotides) whereas Pacific/S.E. Asian strains exhibited considerably less homology to one another (44-49%). The Pacific/S.E. Asian strains exhibited little relationship (20-30%) to the Caribbean and African s…
