Co-circulation of the dengue with chikungunya virus during the 2013 outbreak in the southern part of Lao PDR

Abstract

These findings revealed that two serotypes (DENV-2 and DENV-3) and CHIKV were detected. Furthermore, infection of multiple DENV serotypes and CHIKV was also observed in the 2013 dengue outbreak. This is the first documented evidence of co-infection with CHIKV and one of two DENV serotypes.
