Spatial and temporal dynamics of dengue fever in Peru: 1994-2006.

On the dynamics of dengue epidemics from large-scale information.

A model for the spatial and temporal dynamics of dengue fever is proposed in this article. The vector population dynamics is derived from a diffusion equation that is based on environmental parameters at the scale of a remote-sensing image. Vectors and hosts populations are then classically divided into compartments corresponding to their respective disease status. The transmission processes be...

[Temporal-spatial risk model to identify areas at high-risk for occurrence of dengue fever].

OBJECTIVE To apply the temporal-spatial model to assess high-risk areas for the occurrence of dengue fever. METHODS A total of 11,989 confirmed, autochthonous dengue fever cases, geocoded by address in the city of São José do Rio Preto (Southeastern Brazil), between September of 2001 and August of 2006, were included in the study. Frequency, duration and intensity indices were used to assess ...

Dengue Fever Serology in Febrile Patients in Southeast Iran

Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in all regions in recent years. There is little information on dengue fever epidemiology in Iran. High prevalence of dengue fever in Pakistan bordering southeast Iran emphasizes the need for paying more attention to monitoring of the disease in this region. The aim of this study was to study the dengue...

Spatial Pattern of the Dengue Vector in Iquitos, Peru STOR 940 Summary of Final Presentation

With no vaccine or medicine specifically designed to treat Dengue, attention naturally shifts to prevention. Minimizing the risk of the disease equates to minimizing the exposure to aedes aegypti. Getis, Morrison, Gray, and Scott conducted a spatial study of the distribution of the aedes aegypti in Iquitos, Peru, a city of about 345,000 people 120m above sea level in the Amazon basin area of Pe...
