• Marites F. Carillo

Abstract

The burden of dengue continuously wreak havoc all over the world. This literature review synthesizes key findings from various studies on epidemiology and key drivers influencing the increasing burden of dengue using PRISMA methodology for systematic literature review. At the regional level, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and the Western Pacific have the highest dengue burdens, with a notable increase in cases observed in the Western Pacific between 2013 and 2019. Environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity play a crucial role in dengue transmission, with urbanization and population growth further exacerbating the spread of the disease. The review also highlights the correlation between climate change and the expansion of dengue-suitable areas, with urbanization expected to be the primary driver by 2050.
