This is the result of the cyclical nature of the disease, which flares up every two to five years, as well as a variety of socio-economic and climate-related components. In the first half of 2025, this number reached over *.
Latin America is one of the regions most affected by dengue in the world, with South American countries having some of the highest dengue incidence rates reported. As of June 2025, Guyana, Brazil, and Paraguay had rates ranging between *** and cases per 100,000 population. These figures are influenced by the seasonal nature of the disease, where cases tend to peak at different times of the year depending on an array of regional characteristics.
Brazil is the Latin American country with the highest number of dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and malaria infections. The South American nation is the most populated country in the region and considered the one with the highest physical exposure to vector-borne diseases, and among the most exposed to epidemics in Latin America and the Caribbean. This results from a combination of geographic and socio-economic factors relevant to the spread of these diseases.
