Global dengue cases rapidly rose to record levels in 2023-24. We investigated this trend in Valle del Cauca, Colombia to determine if specific dengue virus serotypes or lineages were responsible for the large outbreak. We detected all four serotypes and multiple lineages, suggesting that other factors, such as climatic conditions, are likely responsible.
