  abstract = {{B}ecause of limited data on dengue virus in {B}urkina {F}aso, we conducted 4 consecutive age-stratified longitudinal serologic surveys, ≈6 months apart, among persons 1-55 years of age, during {J}une 2015-{M}arch 2017, which included a 2016 outbreak. {T}he seroconversion rate before the serosurvey enrollment was estimated by binomial regression, taking age as the duration of exposure, and assuming constant force of infection ({FOI}) over age and calendar time. {W}e calculated {FOI} between consecutive surveys and rate ratios for potentially associated characteristics based on seroconversion using the duration of intervals. {A}mong 2,897 persons at enrollment, 66.3% were {I}g{G}-positive, and estimated annual {FOI} was 5.95%. {O}f 1,269 enrollees participating in all 4 serosurveys, 438 were {I}g{G}-negative at enrollment. {T}he annualized {FOI} ranged from 10% to 20% (during the 2016 outbreak). {O}verall, we observed high {FOI} for dengue. {T}hese results could support decision-making about control and preventive measures for dengue},
