Fig. 4: The spatial distribution of dengue cases is not well correlated with that of emerging disease cases or with estimated mosquito abundance.
From: Asynchronicity of endemic and emerging mosquito-borne disease outbreaks in the Dominican Republic
a Population-, age-, and sex-adjusted attack rates were significantly correlated within provinces across dengue outbreaks and between Zika and chikungunya outbreaks. Simple linear regression was used to measure the correlation between the log number of cases reported during each outbreak by province. One province, Elías Piña, was excluded because of assumed substantial under-reporting: the province reported one dengue case during Season 1 and 1 chikungunya case in a population of 63,250. b R2 values for dengue vs dengue (D vs D), dengue vs emerging (D vs E), and emerging vs emerging (E vs E) calculated by linear regression. c Mosquito abundance (AaS) was normalized across provinces.
