Phylogenetic analysis based on full coding region reveals that the virus belongs to the DENV2 Sylvatic genotype and is closely related to a strain (JF260983/ 99.66% identity) detected in Spain from a tourist who travelled to Guinee Bissau (bordering Kolda region) in 2009. This highlights a potential recent underreported circulation of sylvatic Dengue in the southern part of Senegal and calls for re-enforced integrated surveillance among humans, non-human primates and arboreal mosquitoes throughout a one-health approach.
