| a simulation model of the epidemiology of urban dengue fever: literature analysis, model development, preliminary validation, and samples of simulation results. | we have developed a pair of stochastic simulation models that describe the daily dynamics of dengue virus transmission in the urban environment. our goal has been to construct comprehensive models that take into account the majority of factors known to influence dengue epidemiology. the models have an orientation toward site-specific data and are designed to be used by operational programs as well as researchers. the first model, the container-inhabiting mosquito simulation model (cimsim), a wea ... | 1995 | 7485707 |
| potential impacts of climate variability on dengue hemorrhagic fever in honduras, 2010. | climate change and variability are affecting human health and disease direct or indirectly through many mechanisms. dengue is one of those diseases that is strongly influenced by climate variability; however its study in central america has been poorly approached. in this study, we assessed potential associations between macroclimatic and microclimatic variation and dengue hemorrhagic fever (dhf) cases in the main hospital of honduras during 2010. in this year, 3,353 cases of dhf were reported i ... | 2012 | 23202593 |
| humoral immune response of dengue hemorrhagic fever cases in children from tegucigalpa, honduras. | the humoral immune response in honduran dengue hemorrhagic fever (dhf) hospitalized pediatric cases from the epidemics of 2004 and 2005 was studied in sera collected from 5 to 7 days of fever onset. a total of 145 cases were included in the study: 40 classified as primary with dhf grade i or ii and 86 classified as secondary; from them, 73 were dhf grade i or ii and 13 were dengue shock syndrome (dss) grade iii or iv. the highest number of primary cases was found in children < 1 year of age. the ... | 2008 | 18689634 |
