Analysis of the Epidemiological Situation

The circulation of the dengue virus in French Guiana remained low between mid-June and early August (S2015-25 to 31).During this period, the number of clinically suggestive cases and probable and confirmed cases of dengue remained at stable and low levels, typically observed during the inter-epidemic period. The outbreak identified in Macouria in May has subsided; however, two outbreaks are currently active in Cayenne. The epidemiological situation of dengue on the island of Cayenne therefore corresponds to Phase 2 of Psage: "epidemic outbreaks," while only sporadic cases are identified in the rest of the territory (Phase 1).
