From 1971 to 1980, dengue outbreaks occurred in New-Caledonia due to dengue viruses type 2, 1 and 4 successively. After an eclipse of four years, dengue reappeared in 1985 through 1988. Out of 109 cases confirmed by virus isolation, dengue serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4 caused 15, 23, 17 and 54 cases respectively; in 28 other cases, the Flavivirus type could not be identified and in 26 cases an Alphavirus (Ross River) was pointed out. The DEN 3 virus, unknown in New-Caledonia before 1985, was discretely transmitted until 1988. The 1989 outbreak showed the necessity of rigorous vector control measures.
1971年至1980年期间,新喀里多尼亚先后出现了由2型、1型和4型登革热病毒引发的登革热疫情。经过四年的沉寂,登革热于1985年至1988年再度出现。在通过病毒分离确诊的109例病例中,1型、2型、3型和4型登革热血清型分别导致了15例、23例、17例和54例病例;在另外28例病例中,无法确定黄病毒类型,26例病例中发现了甲病毒(罗斯河病毒)。1985年前在新喀里多尼亚未知的3型登革热病毒一直呈散发传播,直至1988年。1989年的疫情表明了采取严格病媒控制措施的必要性。
