| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The first outbreak of autochthonous dengue fever in Japan since 1945 was occurred in Yoyogi Park and its vicinity, Tokyo in the summer of 2014, and a total of 160 dengue cases were confirmed. Dengue viruses circulate between humans and Aedes albopictus, which is highly influenced by seasonal factors.
We investigated how the dengue fever outbreak in Yoyogi Park and its vicinity progressed through stochastic simulations on the basis of a mathematical model for transmission of dengue virus. It is necessary for prevention from a large-scale outbreak to detect asymptomatic cases at early stage and reduce the survival rate of Ae. albopictus.
We have misgivings about recurrence of dengue autochthonous infections in near future. In addition, Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo in summer of 2020. This study carried out a risk assessment of autochthonous dengue fever in Tokyo, Japan on the basis of a mathematical model incorporating with seasonal factors.
