2012, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Another outbreak of dengue caused by DENV-2 was reported in the city of Djibouti in 1991–1992.5 A recent cross-sectional survey in healthy subjects conducted in Kenya reported a seroprevalence of 1.1% and a yearly incidence of 8.5/1000 persons.6 Co-circulation of different dengue virus serotypes was also reported among troops from the USA engaged in the Operation Restore Hope mission in Somalia (1992–1993).
