Is Dengue Epidemic Related to Socioeconomic Factors?
Received Date: Nov 05, 2024 / Published Date: Dec 05, 2024
Abstract
We analysed the dengue epidemic in two Brazilian cities in 2002 by conducting a spatial analysis of incidence and reproduction numbers across different planning areas. To explore the impact of urban indices, such as the Human Development Index (HDI) and the number of trips, on the disease, we calculated the correlations between these indices and the characteristics of the disease. Our results indicate that the lack of strong correlations between the measured factors suggests that the transmission process should be regarded as a whole for the city.
