To assess the incidence of and risk factors for clinical and subclinical @entity778 , we prospectively studied 1,207 adult short-term travelers from the Netherlands to @entity779 . @entity1 donated blood samples for serologic testing before and after travel. Blood samples were tested for antibodies against DENV. Seroconversion occurred in 14 (1.2%) travelers at risk. The incidence rate was 14.6 per 1,000 @entity1 -months. The incidence rate was significantly higher for travel during the rainy months. @entity779 occurred in 5 of the 14 travelers who seroconverted. Seroconversion was significantly related to fever, @entity158 , @entity925 , @entity4841 , and @entity1910 . The risk for @entity778 for short-term travelers to @entity779 is substantial. The incidence rate for this study is comparable with that in 2 other serology-based prospective studies conducted in the 1990s.
