France: The overseas French territory of Guadeloupe declared a dengue epidemic on Thursday, with authorities noting the outbreak was being driven by a less common strain of the mosquito-borne disease.
"Dengue fever has entered the epidemic phase," said a statement issued by the mayors' association and the regional health authorities on Thursday night.
This year, "a strain of the dengue virus that has not circulated much in the last 20 years" is causing authorities to fear the possibility of "severe forms" with "a high number of cases to be expected if control and prevention actions are not implemented", the statement added.
The dengue 3 serotype (DENV-3) is one of four variants of the virus.
The health authorities said among 62 samples analysed between late September and mid-October, 97 percent were caused by DENV-3.
