Résumé
The influence of climate on the epidemiology of dengue has scarcely been studied in Cartagena. The relationship between dengue cases and climatic and macroclimatic factors was explored using an ecological design and bivariate and time-series analyses during lag and non-lag months. Data from 2008-2017 was obtained from the national surveillance system and meteorological stations. Cases correlated only with climatic variables during lag and non-lag months. Decreases in precipitation and humidity and increases in temperature were correlated with an increase in cases. Our findings provide useful information for establishing and strengthening dengue prevention and control strategies.
