Autochthonous dengue outbreak in Nîmes, South of France, July to September 2015.

In August and September 2015, seven locally acquired cases of dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1) were detected in Nîmes, south of France, where Aedes albopictus has been established since 2011. Epidemiological and entomological investigations allowed to steer vector control measures to contain transmission. An imported case from French Polynesia with onset fever on 4 July was identified as primary ca...

Autochthonous case of dengue in France, October 2013.

In October 2013, autochthonous dengue fever was diagnosed in a laboratory technician in Bouches-du-Rhone, southern France, a department colonised by Aedes albopictus since 2010. After ruling out occupational contamination, we identified the likely chain of local vector-borne transmission from which the autochthonous case arose. Though limited, this second occurrence of autochthonous dengue tran...

[Virology diagnosis of re-emergent infections: dengue virus].

Dengue is acute viral disease transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes (Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus). Dengue virus belongs to the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. There are four dengue virus serotypes (1-4) which are maintained endemically. The disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas between latitudes 35 degrees N and 35 degrees S. Infections may be asymptomatic or may produ...
