Arbovirus emergence in the temperate city of Córdoba, Argentina, 2009–2018

The distribution of arbovirus disease transmission is expanding from the tropics and subtropics into temperate regions worldwide. The temperate city of Córdoba, Argentina has been experiencing the emergence of dengue virus, transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, since 2009, when autochthonous transmission of the virus was first recorded in the city. The aim of this work is to characterize the emergence of dengue and related arboviruses (Zika and chikungunya) in Córdoba since 2009. Herein, we present a data set with all known information about transmission of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses in Córdoba, Argentina from 2009–2018, including what information is known of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes in circulation and origins of imported cases. The data presented in this work will assist researchers in investigating drivers of arbovirus emergence and transmission in Córdoba, Argentina and contribute to a better understanding of the global problem of the expanding distribution of arbovirus disease transmission.
