Children were followed semi-annually for antibodies to dengue and to proteins in Ae. aegypti salivary gland homogenate using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and dengue-specific neutralization titers. Children presented with fever at any time for dengue testing.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>From 13 July to 30 August 2018, we enrolled 771 children. At baseline, 22% (173/770) had evidence of neutralizing antibodies to 1 or more dengue serotypes. By April 2020, 51 children had symptomatic dengue while 148 dengue-naive children had inapparent dengue defined by neutralization assays. In a multivariate model, individuals with higher antibodies to Ae. aegypti salivary proteins were 1.5 times more likely to have dengue infection (hazard ratio [HR], 1.47 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.05–2.06]; P = .02), particularly individuals with inapparent dengue (HR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.12–2.41]; P = .01).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>High levels of seropositivity to Ae. aegypti salivary proteins are associated with future development of dengue infection, primarily inapparent, in dengue-naive Cambodian children.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Clinical Trials Registration</jats:title> <jats:p>NCT03534245</jats:p> </jats:sec>
