Global distribution of DENV in relation to its arthropod vectors. DENV is endemic in parts of Asia, Australia, Africa, and Latin America (area between the solid lines) and slowly expanding to other parts of the globe. Currently, DENV is located within the distribution range of A. aegypti and A. albopictus (dotted line). The presences of these mosquito vectors in non-DENV endemic areas suggest the potential for the expansion of the virus into new regions if optimal conditions are present.
