BACKGROUND
Globally, dengue, Zika virus, and chikungunya are important viral mosquito-borne diseases that infect millions of people annually. Their geographic range includes not only tropical areas but also sub-tropical and temperate zones such as Japan and Italy. The relative severity of these arboviral disease outbreaks can vary depending on the setting. In this study we explore variation in the epidemiologic potential of outbreaks amongst these climatic zones and arboviruses in order to elucidate potential reasons behind such differences.
METHODOLOGY
We reviewed the peer-reviewed literature (PubMed) to obtain basic reproduction number (R
RESULTS
Of 2115 studies, we reviewed the full text of 128 studies and included 65 studies in our analysis. Our results suggest that the R
CONCLUSIONS
The results indicate climate zone to be an important determinant of the basic reproduction number, R
