After a record-setting 2024, São Paulo state in Brazil is on pace to report a significant Dengue virus outbreak in 2025.

In the first month of 2025, São Paulo's Dengue dashboard shows over 108,000 cases and 25 related fatalities.

The state of São Paulo is a tourist hot-spot, welcoming over 6 million visitors last year.

Nationally, the Pan American Helath Organization reported Brazil had confirmed about 194,000 probable Dengue cases in January 2025.

The U.S. CDC says that Dengue is a year-round risk in various countries in the Region of the Americas. And the agency has identified a higher-than-expected number of Dengue cases among U.S. travelers returning from those countries.

To alert international travelers to this health risk, the CDC republished a Level 1 Travel Health Advisory in 2024, identifying 12 countries in the Americas reporting Dengue outbreaks. The CDC strongly recommends avoiding mosquito bites when visiting Dengue-endemic areas in Brazil.

While other countries have approved a second-generation Dengue vaccine in 2025, the U.S. has not.
