Abstract

We describe clinical and laboratory findings of 3 autochthonous cases of dengue in the Paris Region, France, during September-October 2023. Increasing trends in cases, global warming, and growth of international travel mean that such infections likely will increase during warm seasons in France, requiring stronger arbovirus surveillance networks.

Keywords: Aedes albopictus; Dengue; Europe; France; Paris; arbovirus; mosquitoes; vector-borne infections; viruses; zoonoses.
