Dengue Risk among Visitors to Hawaii | CDC EID
State law requires passengers and families to submit a "Plants and Animals Declaration Form" on arrival in Hawaii. The declaration also solicits information regarding the nature of the passengers' visit to the state, including proposed destinations and intended length of stay. After review at the port of entry, the declaration forms are forwarded to Department of Business and Economic Development and Tourism for data entry and storage. We selected the 4 weeks for which the incidence of illness onset for laboratory-positive dengue infections in Hawaii was the highest (September 12–October 10, 2001) and identified 99,766 parties with a declaration who arrived in Hawaii during that time frame ( Figure 2 ).
