This limited the utility of PFGE for identifying outbreak strains until epidemiologic data were available.
Dengue diagnosis is based on standard clinical case definition of WHO for identifying outbreak and initiating an early response as well as reducing dengue mortality.
This result indicates the promising possibility for identifying outbreak locations with a more detailed geographic resolution, which is a critical area in the future development of effective outbreak detection.
As this common approach in identifying outbreak strains has been useful for a pattern-based method such as PFGE, approaches based on a multi-locus sampling of the genome could take this centralized database concept and extend it to contain presence/absence data for specific loci, SNPs, and other measures of heterogeneity.
