    Department of Medical Microbiology, University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    Infect Genet Evol 10:404-12. 2010

    Sazaly AbuBakar
    Department of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    J Gen Virol 83:2437-42. 2002
    ..These results suggest that intra-serotypic recombination amongst DENV-4 from independent ancestral lineages may have contributed to the emergence of DENV-4 subgenotype IIA in Malaysia...
