Dengue, a vector-borne disease, puts at risk of infection nearly four billion people worldwide. Spread primarily by Aedes mosquitos, suitable mosquito habitat favoring survival, population maintenance, and an optimal extrinsic incubation period is required for successful transmission. Many areas, however, fall within the geographic range of the mosquito vector and favorable climatological conditions but experience only sporadic and short-lived outbreaks. Here, we characterized local dengue viru...
