<HR>Since January 2012, 20 autochthonous cases of dengue virus (DENV) infection have been identified in R?union. The first cases were detected on the western coast, but the two co-circulating viruses (DENV-1 and DENV-3) seemed to have spread later to different cities of the island. There is a non-negligible risk of increase in viral transmission over the following weeks, so health professionals and public health authorities in R?union are preparing to face a potential epidemic.
