Harnessing Big Data for Communicable Tropical and Sub-Tropical Disorders: Implications From a Systematic Review of the Literature

2018

aim: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), communicable tropical and sub-tropical diseases occur solely, or mainly in the tropics, thriving in hot, and humid conditions. Some of these disorders termed as neglected tropical diseases are par- ticularly overlooked. Communicable tropical/sub-tropical diseases represent a diverse group of communicable disorders occurring in 149 countries, favored by tropical and sub-tropical conditions, affecting more than one billion people and imposing a dramatic societal and economic burden. methods: A systematic review of the extant scholarly literature was carried out, searching in PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus. The search string used included prope…

Predicting dengue fever outbreaks in French Guiana using climate indicators

2016

Background Dengue fever epidemic dynamics are driven by complex interactions between hosts, vectors and viruses. Associations between climate and dengue have been studied around the world, but the results have shown that the impact of the climate can vary widely from one study site to another. In French Guiana, climate-based models are not available to assist in developing an early warning system. This study aims to evaluate the potential of using oceanic and atmospheric conditions to help predict dengue fever outbreaks in French Guiana. Methodology/Principal Findings Lagged correlations and composite analyses were performed to identify the climatic conditions that characterized a typical e…

Avaliando o caso da dengue na Argentina em 2009: discriminação e medo

2010

Após quase uma década, a reaparição da Dengue na Argentina causou pânico e medo. Diferente da Bolívia, do Brasil e do Paraguai, onde as políticas de prevenção têm sido seguidas, o futuro da dengue fica incerto para a Argentina; este trabalho não tem qualquer afiliação política, mas destaca o papel da mídia de massa na cobertura das epidemias. A questão de se um jornal ou corporação de mídia de massa deveria manter um mínimo de objetividade é extensa demais para ser resolvida neste artigo curto. Entretanto, temos apresentado um modelo que ajudará outros pesquisadores a interpretarem temas desta natureza no futuro. Nos momentos de desordem, incerteza ou desastre, as sociedades passam por uma …
