Autochthonous dengue virus (DENV) infection has not been reported in Japan. To evaluate the risk of autochthonous DENV transmission in Japan, the authors performed a retrospective search of the five areas visited by the German patient to determine the population density of dengue vector mosquito, Aedes albopictus. The annual mean temperature of each area was higher than 12 °C, which is considered suitable for the establishment of A. albopictus populations. Our retrospective search revealed the population density of A. albopictus to be high in the urban areas of Japan., Article, International Journal of Infectious Diseases.26:135-137(2014)}, pages = {135--137}, title = {Retrospective search of dengue vector mosquito, Aedes albopictus in area visited by a German traveler that has contracted dengue Disease.}, volume = {26}, year = {2014} }
