Dengue is a viral disease caused by dengue viruses (DENVs) which are transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, primarily *Aedes aegypti* and *Aedes albopictus*, which are container-inhabiting species commonly found in urban areas. There are four distinct dengue serotypes which can cause separate, repeat infections in individuals (Wilder-Smith et al., 2019). Dengue is the most prominent arbovirus worldwide, infecting tens of millions of people every year. Globalization has expanded the geographic range of *Ae. aegypti* and frequent international travel has led to the reintroduction of dengue into regions where the disease was previously eliminated, such as the southern United States. Florida is uniquely vulnerable and routinely experiences dengue fever cases as a result of frequent international travel occurring between dengue endemic countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. This project aims to address the following research questions: First, what is the spatial distribution of dengue incident rates at the county level in Florida? Do county-level incidence rates for travel and locally-acquired dengue transmission exhibit spatial clustering or randomness? Finally, what is the relationship between locally-acquired dengue incidence and travel-related incidence for the past 25 years in Florida?
