Update on autochthonous dengue cases in Madeira, Portugal, by the ECDC

20/11/2012

0 Comments

 
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control have released an update regarding the dengue fever outbreak in Madeira, dated 20 November 2012.

A summary of the report and the report itself can be consulted here: report


Main conclusions:
  • This is the first sustained transmission of dengue in the European Union since the 1920s. Autochthonous transmission is likely to continue until the end of the year when mosquito density will probably decrease.
  • The epidemiological situation does not imply any trade or travel restriction beyond the disinfestations currently being implemented. 
  • As the influenza transmission season will commence around the end of the year, concomitant actions for monitoring dengue and influenza are being launched in Madeira.
  • Aircraft disinfection and control of vector mosquitoes at ports and airports in Madeira should be continued.
  • Protective measures to avoid mosquito bites is still a key recommendation

Almost all reported cases relate to the resident population and most municipalities of Madeira have reported at least one case of dengue infection among their residents. So far twenty-five visitors to Madeira have been diagnosed with dengue since returning to mainland Portugal (nine), United Kingdom (six), Germany (seven), Sweden (one) and France (two).
