Abstract Serosurveys suggest widespread dengue virus (DENV) transmission in Africa but there is limited information on the temporal patterns of exposure.

Stored sera (n = 8025), collected annually from an open longitudinal cohort of 1834 children aged 15 years and below, were screened for anti-DENV IgG antibodies.
