Cocirculation of two genetic subtypes of denguc serotype 2 viruses was first observed in the 1980 epidemic season in Thailand. To further delineate the evolutionary history and the contribution of these subtypes to subsequent epidemics, we determined the envelope glycoprotcin gene sequence of 20 den...
