The major arboviral diseases in mainland China include Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (also known as Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever), and tick-borne encephalitis. These and other newly found arbovirus infections due to Banna virus and Tahyna virus contribute to a large and relatively neglected disease burden in China. Here we briefly review the literature regarding these arboviral infections in mainland China with emphasis on their epidemiology, primary vectors, phylogenetic associations, and the prevention programs associated with these agents in China.

“…Based on phylogenetic analysis and field epidemiological investigation, the three viruses originated from countries in Southeast Asia. Historically, DF outbreaks associated with DENV3 occurred in Guangdong and Hainan during the 1970 and 1980s (Zhao et al, 1981;Li et al, 1986). Reported cases of DENV3 infection during the subsequent 20 years were relatively rare compared to DENV1 and DENV2 in mainland China (Wu et al, 2010).…”

Dengue fever (DF) is a vector-borne disease and a tremendous socioeconomic burden on tropical and subtropical countries worldwide. To explore the characteristics of DF epidemic in the Fujian province, information of DF cases in Fujian during 2004-2014 was collected and analyzed. The complete E genes of 48 viral isolates were amplified and sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. A total of 733 cases was reported, of which 612 (83.5%) occurred during the peak period from August to October. Additionally, 76% (190/250) of imported cases originated from Southeast Asia countries, by the epidemiological investigation. Phylogenetic analysis of the 48 viral isolates revealed that three genotypes (I, IV, V) of DENV1, and one genotype each of DENV2 (cosmopolitan) and DENV3 (I) circulated in Fujian during [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014]. Similar to the results of the epidemiological investigations, the source of most of the viral isolates, including imported and indigenous cases, may be Southeast Asia countries; however, importation from adjacent provinces was also observed in recent years. Overall, DF is considered an imported epidemic disease in Fujian. Increasing diversity of the viral source and geographic expansion of the area affected by DF in recent years highlights the necessity for strengthening surveillance of the DF epidemic and developing strategies for DF prevention and control in Fujian.dengue virus, E gene, phylogenetic tree, epidemiology, etiology Citation:

Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by dengue viruses and transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. All four serotypes of DENV have caused outbreaks in China. Aedes albopictus is the major vector in China. Dengue fever is a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, young children, and adults, but seldom causes death. Dengue can be diagnosed by isolation of the virus, by serological tests, or by molecular methods. There is no specific treatment and effective vaccines available for dengue fever. The only method to prevent dengue fever is to control vector mosquitoes.
