What is Taiwan's Integrating Surveillance, Epidemiological Discoveries, And Public Health Policies Can Guide Global Prevention And Control Of Dengue about?
Intro Severe outbreaks in Taiwan during 1987-2015 had always started from failure in detecting early dengue cases. However, the extreme low numbers of indigenous dengue cases in southern Taiwan during 2016-2022 have been succeeded with early efforts through integrated surveillance systems, including, free charge NS1 screening of virological surveillance for patients with dengue-like illness, fever surveillance at the airport and entomological surveillance looking for mosquito breeding sites. Recently, we used machine learning models to assist in finding lab.-confirmed dengue cases and predicting severe dengue cases in the elderly. Methods We investigated factors that were associated with severe dengue outbreaks in southern Taiwan and used geographical information system (GIS) to plot spatial distribution of laboratory-confirmed dengue cases. Findings Six epidemiological findings can direct prevention and control policies. (1) The onset of epidemics begins with imported dengue cases and appropriate weather conditions (high temperature, low humidity) enlightening to educate the symptoms/signs of dengue for travelers is important. (2) DENV-2, had resulted in most severe epidemics. (3)
