Dengue fever is a re-emergent mosquito-borne disease, which prevails in tropical and subtropical regions, mainly in urban and peri-urban areas. Its incidence has increased fourfold since 1970, and dengue fever has become the most prevalent mosquito-borne disease in humans now. In order to study the effect of temperature on the dengue virus transmission, we formulate a dengue virus transmission model with maturation delay for mosquito production and seasonality. The basic reproduction number $\mathbb{R}_0$ of the model is computed, and results suggest that the dengue fever will die out if $\mathbb{R}_0$ < 1, and there exists at least one positive periodic solution and the disease will persist if $\mathbb{R}_0$ > 1. Theoretical results are applied to the outbreak of dengue fever in Guangdong province, China. Simulations reveal that the temperature change causes the periodic oscillations of dengue fever cases, which is good accordance with the reported cases of dengue fever in Guangdong province. Our study contributes to a better understanding of dengue virus transmission dynamics and proves beneficial in preventing and controlling of dengue fever.
