“The situation described is in line with what is expected this season, considering the increase in international travel, after the Covid emergency – highlights the ISS – and the climatic conditions favorable to the proliferation of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, the so-called tiger mosquito, which can transmit the Dengue virus. In all cases, disinfestation measures against mosquitoes have been implemented and, in the areas where local transmission has occurred, all the preventive measures required to protect transplants and transfusions have been activated. In 2023 “In addition to Italy, outbreaks of native Dengue have been reported in France.
