Objectives: The anticipated increase in international tourist flows and the first locally acquired dengue cases in the Paris region in October 2023 have raised concerns about potential arbovirus outbreaks during the 2024 Olympics. Unlike previous mass sporting events at risk of arbovirus outbreaks, Paris is a nonendemic arbovirus area, requiring a unique investigation.
Methods: Therefore, we analyzed factors conducive to possible arbovirus epidemics in temperate regions: vector distribution in the Paris area, seasonal global arboviral disease patterns, projected visitor demographics, and international flight bookings.

Background: Vector-borne diseases such as malaria and arboviruses are common etiologies of post-travel fever.
Methods: After excluding malaria, we retrospectively analyzed the diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and zika virus (ZIKV) infections following recent travel by patients treated at the Strasbourg University Hospital between 2014 and 2023. Available serums (n = 35) sampled in 2023 were retrospectively tested for DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV infections.
