Seroepidemiology of Dengue virus in Mayotte, Indian Ocean, 2006.
<h4>Background</h4>Although Dengue virus (DENV) circulation had been documented in neighbouring South-western Indian Ocean Islands, its presence in Mayotte is poorly characterised. To address this issue, we aimed to assess the seroprevalence of dengue IgG antibodies (DENV-IgG Ab) among t...
