This study in Iquitos, Peru, showed that dengue patients with mild disease were most infectious to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes 2 d after the onset of symptoms and that these mosquitoes were able to transmit their infection 7 – 16 d after blood feeding. This empirical study provided a timeline for when secondary dengue cases could be expected following the onset of symptoms in an imported dengue case, thereby providing a timeline for preventive control operations.
