Results of dengue surveillance in Southern Vietnam.

Abstract

<p>a. Reported DHF incidence from 1972 to 2007 (per 100,000 inhabitants). b. Reported dengue incidence for <15 years old and 15+ years old individual per level of severity (per 100,000 inhabitants) c. based on reported incidence and serotype distribution of isolated virus (about 1% of reported cases are subject to virus isolation) d. Seasonality in vector (Aedes Aegypti) density and monthly DHF incidence. Seasonality was assessed through locally weighted scatterplot smoothing <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0051244#pone.0051244-Cleveland1" target="_blank">[61]</a>.
