Evolutionary dynamics of dengue virus in India

Abstract: More than a hundred thousand dengue cases are diagnosed in India annually, and about half of the country’s population carries dengue virus-specific antibodies. Dengue propagates and adapts to the selection pressures imposed by a multitude of factors that can lead to the emergence of new variants. Yet, there has been no systematic analysis of the evolution of the dengue virus in the country. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of all DENV gene sequences collected between 1956 and 2018 from India. We exami… Show more

“…Systematically quantifying the properties of human serum against previous and current circulating strains will help discern the changes in immune profiles and pathogenesis after natural infection and vaccination ( 31 33 ). This will become increasingly important as dengue vaccines begin to get used ( 12 , 17 , 18 ). The antigenic distance between vaccine strains and locally circulating strains may help explain underlying differences in the efficacy of vaccines across populations, with the potential of a long-term goal of tailored vaccines based on local antigenic profiles.…”

“…It would also provide biological insight into a role for antigenic imprinting to explain an individual’s long-term disease risk, where the specific virus that first infects an individual largely determines future disease risk when they are exposed to antigenically different viruses ( 14 16 ). Further, the specific antigenic properties of strains used in vaccines could be evaluated for their potential to cause disease from generating sub-neutralization titers, the magnitude of which may differ across settings because of heterogeneity in strain-specific immune histories and the antigenic characteristics of circulating viruses ( 17 , 18 ).…”

“…However, the genetic diversity was more pronounced within each genotype and included 12 distinct clades among 4 serotypes. This observation is characteristic of DENV epidemiology in which a single genotype generally dominates within each serotype in a cyclical pattern [ 41 , 42 ], yet high genetic diversity is maintained within genotypes through co-circulating clades and in situ evolution [ 43 ]. A similar pattern has also been reported in previous studies in the Philippines [ 22 , 44 ].…”
