Viral RNA was extracted from 114 serum sample, then subjected to pan-flavivirus RT-PCR and sequencing. First-round of sequencing was carried out using a Flongle flowcell. Positive samples were then excluded from the second-round sequencing (using a MinION flowcell).
aAs a comparison, the samples were also screened with the NS1 antigen test.
bSamples positive for NS1 were also subjected to the CDC based DENV-1-4 Real-Time RT-PCR Multiplex Assay.
cPrior to sequencing, 1 µL of PCR product were visualized on agarose, alongside 100 bp DNA ladder (Supplementary Fig. S5).
dReads meeting the criteria were counted at the end of analysis and presented here.
