Risk classification criteria

Classifications are reviewed every two years and align with CDC Yellow Book maps.

• Frequent/continuous risk: evidence of more than 10 locally-acquired dengue cases in at least 3 of the previous 10 years. Areas with more than 75% of the country classified as frequent/continuous risk were also grouped in this category, even if some areas have limited or no reported dengue activity.
• Sporadic/uncertain risk: evidence of at least 1 locally acquired dengue case during the last 10 years.
• Risk varies by region: Dengue activity varies across the country; please review maps to evaluate risk at the sub-national level.

Dengue around the world

Dengue is a common disease in many countries globally, affecting the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.

Almost half of the world’s population, about 4 billion people, live in areas with a risk of dengue. Dengue is often a leading cause of febrile illness in areas with risk.

Dengue outbreaks are reported frequently in these regions, including many popular tourist destinations in:

• the Caribbean
• Central America
• South America
• Southeast Asia
• Pacific Islands

  Mosquitoes that can spread dengue usually live in places below 6,500 feet. The chances of getting dengue from mosquitoes living above that altitude are very low.
