Is dengue in the process of establishing itself in the south-east of France?
The Regional Health Agency (ARS) reports this Friday that two cases of dengue have been observed in the Var since the start of the season.
These two people had not recently traveled to places where the epidemic is usually rife.
Dengue fever is transmitted through the bite of a tiger mosquito in metropolitan France.
This has become widely established in France in recent years.
Mosquito control operations are being undertaken while the ARS investigates these cases.
