We report the full-genome sequence of a Dengue serotype-1 virus (DENV-1) isolated from a traveler returning in July 2019 to Italy from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which is currently affected by Ebola and measles outbreaks. The sequence shows high similarity with two 2013 strains isolated in Angola and China.
Keywords: Democratic Republic of Congo; Dengue virus; Full-genome sequence; Travel-associated infection.
