TL;DR: The number of cases has plateaued since 1 April, and continued enhanced nationwide surveillance and response activities are necessary, as factors that may have contributed to this outbreak include a largely susceptible population, the presence of a highly efficient dengue vector in Honiara, and high-density human population with numerous breeding sites and favourable weather conditions for mosquito proliferation.

TL;DR: French Polynesia and the French Territories of the Americas have experienced outbreaks of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, but the surveillance system only takes into account consulting patients diagnosed with ZIKV disease, while non-consulting cases, as well as asymptomatic cases, are not taken into account.

TL;DR: Ross River virus circulation in French Polynesia is reported based on further screening of blood samples collected during 2014–2015.

TL;DR: The first large dengue outbreak reported in the Solomon Islands since the Second World War was reported in 2013 as discussed by the authors, where 5,254 cases were reported (101.5 per 10,000 population), including 401 hospitalizations and six deaths.

TL;DR: Examination of surveillance and phylogenetic and serologic data found evidence of low-level transmission of Zika and chikungunya viruses during 2013-2017, in contrast to the major outbreaks caused by closely related virus strains in other Pacific Island countries.
