Study reports way to predict dengue transmission globally
A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE reports a model that is based on air travel, using the number of passengers flowing between international airports to predict how many of the air travellers arriving at any of these airports will have dengue, in a month.
This will help researchers understand how dengue spreads, the chief routes of spread, and the reporting rates in different countries. This in turn will help public health authorities to wisely use their resources to prevent dengue spread in countries where it is not yet a problem.
