To understand its unprecedented resurgence, we examined the epidemiological, virological, and entomological features of dengue in Guangzhou during 19782009. Cases reported to the Guangzhou Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and data from virological and entomological surveillance were analyzed from three periods: 19781988, 19891999, and 20002009. Although cases decreased over time: 6,649 (19781988) to 6,479 (19891999) to 2,526 (20002009), geographical expansion resulted in districts with an average incidence >2.5/100,000, increasing from five (19781988, 19891999) to seven (20002009). Age distribution (mean age: 34.9 years) provided a trend of increasing dengue incidence among adults, and there was a significantly higher incidence among men with a sex ratio of 1.15:1 (P
