Climatic thresholds associated with increased dengue incidence across climate zones in Peru (2001-2022)
This study identified distinct climatic thresholds that were met within a 20-week window preceding elevated dengue incidence rates in the six climate zones with the highest dengue prevalence in Peru. These insights enable dengue incidence rates forecasting weeks in advance using climatic data, offering a valuable tool for dengue mitigation and early intervention.
