Resumen
Descripción
This report provides evidence from
Dhaka to establish the linkage between climatic conditions
and dengue outbreaks. In chapter two, the overall trend of
dengue cases and associated deaths are presented; following
which chapter three examines climate and dengue-related data
for Dhaka to assess whether climatic conditions contributed
to the major dengue outbreak in the capital city in 2019.
Chapter four then presents the global evidence for the
linkages between climate variability and the mosquito
lifecycle. Analyses of weather variables for Dhaka between
1976 and 2019 are presented in chapter five to ascertain
overall trends in climatic conditions. Chapter six provides
a summary of key findings and recommends options for
policymakers to consider.
