This work aims to analyze the evolution of the incidence of DENV in Argentina from its re-introduction in 1998 until the most recent and largest epidemic in 2020, and its relation to climate change. We described the trend and anomalies of temperature and precipitation across the country. Finally, we analyzed the number of months and days with suitable temperature conditions for DENV transmission in representative cities.
