An Analysis of the Potential Impact of Climate Change on Dengue Transmission in the Southeastern United States

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that dengue virus transmission is limited by low winter temperatures in the mainland US, which are likely to prevent its permanent establishment. Although future climate conditions may increase the length of the mosquito season in many locations, projected increases in dengue transmission are limited to the southernmost locations.
