Key Points

  • In Occitanie, since May 1, 2021, 22 imported cases of dengue have been confirmed: the dengue cases were returning from Réunion (19), Djibouti (1), French Guiana (1), and Côte d’Ivoire (1).

  • No cases of chikungunya or Zika have been identified. To limit the risk of local transmission, 26 entomological surveys and 14 vector control treatments were carried out in the vicinity of these cases.
