The Estimation of Imported Dengue Virus From Thailand

ConclusionOur results provided a fundamental step toward estimation of the risk of the secondary transmission of DENV in non‐epidemic countries via travelers, which can serve as an early warning of a dengue outbreak. The highest infective person‐day is associated with the rainy season in Thailand. The increasing number of overseas travelers may increase the risk of global transmission of the DENV. Better understanding of the virus transmission dynamics will enable further quantitative predictions of epidemic risk.
