A recent increase in dengue cases may well be surpassed during the Olympic games, which will occur during conditions that favor mosquitoes.
sought to determine the number of days necessary for tiger mosquitoes in the Île-de- France region of France to transmit arboviruses.Between January 1 and April 19, 2024, 1679 imported cases of dengue were recorded in mainland France , which is 13 times more than last year during the same period.
According to the results of this study, at a temperature of 28 °C, the incubation time needed for the viruses to reach the mosquito's salivary glands in sufficient quantity to infect a human is 3 days for the West Nile virus, 3-7 days for the chikungunya and Usutu viruses, and 14-21 days for dengue and Zika viruses.This information is essential to assess the additional risk associated with the Olympics and develop appropriate control strategies.
Healthcare professionals are urged to be particularly vigilant this summer to detect cases of these arboviruses and report them to the Regional Health Agency to identify the areas to be treated with insecticides. In addition, it is recommended that anyone returning from travel and experiencing fever or body aches consult their general practitioner promptly and specify their area of origin.
These studies focused on mosquitoes in Île-de-France, but they will soon be extended to the entire mainland, because extrinsic incubation periods vary according to local temperatures and populations of tiger mosquitoes, which are not genetically identical., which is part of the Medscape Professional Network, using several editorial tools, including AI, as part of the process.
