Outbreak of Dengue Virus Type 2 - American Samoa, November 2016–October 2018
2018
Overview
American Samoa has experienced multiple outbreaks of mosquitoborne viral disease in recent years, including chikun...gunya in 2014, dengue in 2015, and Zika in 2016. During November 2016-October 2018, 1,081 laboratory-confirmed dengue cases were identified, with only dengue virus type 2 detected. The epidemic peaked in December 2017, after which, case counts slowly decreased. Sustainable, effective interventions are still needed to control dengue, as is continued emphasis on clinical management to reduce mortality. Persons residing in or traveling to areas with risk for dengue should use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and stay in residences with screens on doors and windows.
