Impact of Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever on The Developing World
Impact of Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever on The Developing World
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the changing epidemiology of Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DEN/DHF), estimates the global growth in the number of cases of DEN/DHF from 1955 to 1996, and uses these incidence data to estimate the global economic impact of this disease. Epidemic DEN/DHF has emerged as a global public health problem in the tropics in the past 20 years. This has been caused by the expanding geographic distribution of both the viruses and the principal mosquito vectors as a result of global demographic and societal changes. During this period, most tropical urban centers of the world have become hyperendemic, thus increasing the risk of epidemic transmission and the emergence of DHF. Despite this dramatic emergence of a new hemorrhagic disease, few estimates of the economic impact of DEN/DHF have been attempted. The lack of estimates of the economic impact of endemic DEN/DHF is important, because such estimates are needed by policy planners to help allocate limited resources for research, prevention, and control activities. Different model for evaluating the effect of the impact of DEN/DHF is provided in this chapter.
