Spatial occurrence-intensity modeling of dengue incidence in southernmost provinces of Thailand.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dengue is currently spreading and is considered a hyperendemic in Thailand. Outbreaks happen almost every year in various provinces of Thailand, especially the four southernmost provinces consistently reporting for more than a decade. This study aimed to explore the spatial distribution and high-risk areas using an occurrence-intensity model at a sub-district level in the four southernmost provinces of Thailand.

Methods

The record of the cases admitted to the hospital and diagnosed as dengue in the 377 sub-districts of four southernmost provinces, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat from 2008 to 2020, gender-age wise, were taken from the Office of Disease Prevention and Control, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand.
