From 1991 to 2012, most cases of notified dengue in Australia were related to overseas travel, with respective increases in 2010 and 2011 of 298% and 155% above the 5-year mean notification rate; the risk of dengue in travellers returning from Indonesia between 2000 and 2011 was 8.3 times that for travellers returning from all other…

The global distribution and burden of dengue
TLDR
These new risk maps and infection estimates provide novel insights into the global, regional and national public health burden imposed by dengue and will help to guide improvements in disease control strategies using vaccine, drug and vector control methods, and in their economic evaluation.
Dengue: a continuing global threat
TLDR
A global strategy aimed at increasing the capacity for surveillance and outbreak response, changing behaviours and reducing the disease burden using integrated vector management in conjunction with early and accurate diagnosis has been advocated.
Spatial Patterns and Socioecological Drivers of Dengue Fever Transmission in Queensland, Australia
TLDR
Socioecological factors appear to influence the transmission of dengue fever in Queensland, but the drivers of locally acquired and overseas-acquired DF may differ.
Dengue fever and El Niño/Southern Oscillation in Queensland, Australia: a time series predictive model
TLDR
Climate variability is directly and/or indirectly associated with d Dengue transmission and the development of an SOI-based epidemic forecasting system is possible for dengue fever in Queensland, Australia.
Imported Dengue Cases, Weather Variation and Autochthonous Dengue Incidence in Cairns, Australia
TLDR
It is suggested that incidences of monthly autochthonous DF were strongly positively associated with monthly imported DF cases, local minimum temperature and inter-month relative humidity variability in Cairns and was driven by importedDF cases only under favourable seasons and weather conditions in the study.
Australia's Dengue Risk Driven by Human Adaptation to Climate Change
TLDR
The debate of the role climate change will play in the future range of dengue in Australia is concluded that the increased risk of an Ae.
Bionomic response of Aedes aegypti to two future climate change scenarios in far north Queensland, Australia: implications for dengue outbreaks
TLDR
It is unclear whether dengue risk would increase or decrease in tropical Australia with climate change, and the prevailing view that a future, warmer climate will lead to larger mosquito populations and a definite increase in d Dengue transmission is challenged.

Molecular epidemiologic analysis shows that travelers returning from Asia are the greatest source of risk.

TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis showed a clade replacement within DENV-2 cosmopolitan genotype, which accompanied the predominant serotype switch, and cocirculation of multiple genotypes ofDENV-3.
