Article Synopsis
- The incidence of dengue cases has surged in the past two decades, particularly influenced by urbanization, with many cases going unnoticed due to asymptomatic infections.
- A 2019 dengue outbreak in La Reunion led to over 18,000 confirmed cases, and a study involving 605 participants found low rates of active infections, but a significant number showed evidence of past infections.
