Identifying high-risk subdistricts for targeted dengue interventions: a spatio-temporal study in Mueang Chonburi district, Thailand, 2011-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Thailand, the Department of Disease Control (DDC) under the Ministry of Public Health typically implements dengue interventions at the district level, especially in urban districts and those with recurrent outbreaks. However, such district-level assessments often encompass diverse subdistricts with varying levels of risk. Consequently, more granular, subdistrict-level interventions may offer greater precision and effectiveness than uniform, district-wide approaches.

Methods

This observational ecological study with spatio-temporal components analyzed daily dengue incidence data reported by hospitals nationwide from 2011 to 2020, using consecutive 5-year time frames to account for interannual variability in dengue transmission. It assessed dengue endemic intensit
