On November 7, 2022, dengue virus (DENV), which is not endemic in the continental United States (1), was identified in a Maricopa County, Arizona resident by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing at Arizona State Public Health Laboratory (ASPHL). The patient (patient A) was admitted to a hospital on October 19 for a dengue-like illness, 7 days after traveling to and remaining in Mexicali, Mexico for <4 hours. Patient A was hospitalized for 3 days and subsequently recovered. Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) conducted retrospective testing for DENV in samples collected from 21 mosquito pools located within 5 miles (8 km) of patient A’s residence during October 1–November 3. A sample collected from one mosquito pool (pool A) on October 5 was positive for DENV. Whole genome sequencing by CDC’s Dengue Branch later revealed that closely related DENV-3 strains not known to be circulating in the patient’s travel region were identified in both patient A and pool A, suggesting local DENV transmission. ...
