A new lineage nomenclature to aid genomic surveillance of dengue virus
Dengue virus (DENV) is causing increasingly larger and more widespread epidemics, which makes it critical to track the virus using genomic surveillance, but there is currently no suitable system to classify circulating variants. This Consensus View proposes a new DENV nomenclature system and free online tools to identify and track lineages of potential epidemiological and/or clinical importance.
