Abstract
Aedes albopictus collected in 2023 in the greater Paris area (Île-de-France) were experimentally able to transmit five arboviruses: West Nile virus from 3 days post-infection (dpi), chikungunya virus and Usutu virus from 7 dpi, dengue virus and Zika virus from 21 dpi. Given the growing number of imported dengue cases reported in early 2024 in France, surveillance of Ae. albopictus should be reinforced during the Paris Olympic Games in July, when many international visitors including from endemic countries are expected.
