Origin, tempo, and mode of the spread of DENV-4 Genotype IIB across the state of S ão Paulo, Brazil during the 2012-2013 outbreak.
CONCLUSIONS: The spread pattern of DENV-4 Genotype IIB strains across the country supports two independent introductions of the virus in São Paulo in a short period of time. Furthermore, São Paulo appears to have played a pivotal role in the dissemination of DENV-4 to other locations in Brazil.
