Geographic information system-aided evaluation of epidemiological trends of dengue serotypes in West Bengal, India

CONCLUSIONS: Co-circulation of all the four dengue serotypes was observed in this study, but only one serotype became prevalent during an outbreak. Representation of NS1-positive cases and serotype distribution in GIS mapping clearly showed serotypic shift in co-circulation. The findings of this study suggest the need for stringent surveillance in dengue-endemic areas to limit the impact of dengue and implement better vector-control strategies.PMID:38577856 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_1055_23
