Predicting dengue outbreaks in Cambodia

In Cambodia, dengue outbreaks occur each rainy season (May–October) but vary in magnitude. Using national surveillance data, we designed a tool that can predict 90% of the variance in peak magnitude by April, when typically <10% of dengue cases have been reported. This prediction may help hospitals anticipate excess patients. © 2019 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). All rights reserved.
