A Large Dengue Outbreak in Taiwan, 2023: Driven by Imported Cases, Serotype Cocirculation, and Climate Variability

The 2023 dengue outbreak in Taiwan was driven by a complex interplay between viral introductions, climatic conditions, and vector dynamics. The differing transmission drivers observed between cities highlight the need for region-specific vector surveillance, climate-informed early warning systems, and sustained genomic monitoring to prevent future re-emergence of dengue in this non-endemic setting.

Abstract

The 2023 dengue outbreak in Taiwan was driven by a complex interplay between viral introductions, climatic conditions, and vector dynamics. The differing transmission drivers observed between cities highlight the need for region-specific vector surveillance, climate-informed early warning systems, and sustained genomic monitoring to prevent future re-emergence of dengue in this non-endemic setting.
