Dengue emergence in the temperate Argentinian province of Santa Fe, 2009–2020

Abstract

Dengue virus (DENV) transmission occurs primarily in tropical and subtropical climates, but within the last decade it has extended to temperate regions. Santa Fe, a temperate province in Argentina, has experienced an increase in dengue cases and virus circulation since 2009, with the recent 2020 outbreak being the largest in the province to date. The aim of this work is to describe spatio-temporal fluctuations of dengue cases from 2009 to 2020 in Santa Fe Province. The data presented in this work provide a detailed description of DENV transmission for Santa Fe Province by department. These data are useful to assist in investigating drivers of dengue emergence in Santa Fe Province and for developing a better understanding of the drivers and the impacts of ongoing dengue emergence in temperate regions across the world. This work provides data useful for future studies including those investigating socio-ecological, climatic, and environmental factors associated with DENV transmission, as well as those investigating other variables related to the biology and the ecology of vector-borne diseases.

Arboviral disease record data - Dengue and Chikungunya, Brazil, 2013–2020

“… 16 and López et al . 17 , the data set presented in this work expands the data available to researchers on the emergence and transmission of two arboviruses, Dengue and Chikungunya. To this end, it complements these works and progresses work towards a potential international arbovirus data set suggested by Robert et al .…”

“…In López et al . 17 , the Dengue outbreak in Santa Fé, Argentina was investigated. This city has a temperate climate and experienced an increase in Dengue cases and virus circulation from 2009.…”

Assessing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the dynamics of dengue and HIV via fractional derivatives

“…In 2009, there was the outbreak of dengue in central region of Argentina for the first time. Since then, dengue cases have been reported each year to date, with the largest number occurring in the year 2020 when more than 50 % of all cases in the nation occurred in this region [22] .…”

Community engagement through “student-led science” for dengue prevention during the COVID-19 pandemic in Córdoba, Argentina

“…During the season 2019-2020 Argentina has reported 58,889 DEN cases, with 3 circulating serotypes in the country (1,2,4) and 26 deaths. This season exceeded by almost 40.5% accumulated cases in the 2015-2016 season, being the largest dengue outbreak that has been recorded in the history of the country so far [5].…”

“…At the same time, the Americas were also facing the biggest dengue fever (DEN) epidemic in history [2]. Dengue fever is caused by dengue virus (DENV), transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquito to humans, with a wide geographic spread of the virus and its vector in tropical, subtropical, and even temperate areas [3, 4]. During the season 2019-2020 Argentina has reported 58,889 DEN cases, with 3 circulating serotypes in the country (1, 2, 4) and 26 deaths.…”
