Estimating Frequency of Probable Autochthonous Cases of Dengue, Japan
Abstract
Imported dengue into naive areas is a recognized but un-quantified threat. Differentiating imported and autochtho-nous cases remains problematic. A threshold approach applied to Japan identified several aberrant incidences of dengue. Despite these alerts, no epidemics occurred other than 1 in Yoyogi Park in Tokyo, which was probably an unusual event.
