During 2010–2020, the majority (29,862 [96.6%]) of dengue cases were reported from Puerto Rico (Figure 1). Annual incidence per 1,000 population was highest during the two outbreaks in 2010 and 2013, 2.9 and 2.6, respectively (Figure 2). Among all reported cases from Puerto Rico, 20,675 (69.2%) were confirmed and 9,187 (30.8%) were probable; 54.6% ...
During 2010–2020, American Samoa accounted for 660 (2.1%) of all reported cases in the U.S. territories (Figure 1). Annual incidence per 1,000 population was highest in 2017, reaching 10.2 per 1,000 population (Figure 2). All dengue cases were confirmed, and 50.3% were in females. The highest case numbers and rates occurred among persons aged <20 y...

Jan 22, 2014 · In this paper, we report the historical significance of dengue outbreaks in the USA between 1780 and 1945, along with the elimination strategies of the vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti. We then detail the re-emergence of dengue into the USA between 1999 and today and discuss future strategies for detection and control.
