Seroprevalence of Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Antibodies, French Polynesia, 2014-2015

Maite Aubry et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2018 Mar.

Abstract

We investigated dengue and chikungunya virus antibody seroprevalence in French Polynesia during 2014-2015. Dengue virus seroprevalence was ≈60% among schoolchildren and >83% among the general population; chikungunya virus seroprevalence was <3% before and 76% after Zika virus emergence (2013). Dengue virus herd immunity may affect Zika virus infection and pathogenesis.

Keywords: French Polynesia; IgG; Pacific; Zika virus; arboviruses; chikungunya virus; dengue viruses; immunoglobulin G; seroprevalence; viruses.
