Abstract
Using recombination analysis we identified a recombinant dengue virus type 1 strain namely GD23/95 with three recombination regions located within the sequences of the prM/E junction NS1 and NS3 respectively The recombinant dengue virus was further confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on its recombination and nonrecombination regions This appears to be the first study to confirm the existence of three recombination regions in a single dengue virus isolate and to report recombination between parent virus strains isolated from the same geographic area Guangdong province China It is also the first to report breakpoints within the NS3 gene of dengue viruses
