Dengue during the COVID-19 pandemic
Annelies Wilder‐Smith
Abstract
Despite coronavirus disease 2019-related disruptions in controlling dengue, efforts need to be maintained to prevent vector-borne diseases during this pandemic. Although travel restrictions brought a global halt to mobility and therefore also a substantial decline of imported and travel-associated dengue, dengue will become dominant again in travel medicine as soon as international travel resumes.
