木曜日, 11月 24, 2022

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dengue fever is one of the most common and rapidly spreading vector-borne viral diseases, with major public health and economic consequences, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global burden of Dengue increased eightfold over the last two decades, due in part to climate change and anthropogenic activities. With almost half of the world's population living in areas with a risk of Dengue fever and with its increasing spread, there is an overwhelming need for near real-time prediction and effective monitoring of Dengue transmission rates and the ability to estimate the public health resources required for disease prevention and treatment.

Key Points: 
  • New Light Technologies Inc. (NLT) will develop, together with researchers from the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), a Dynamic Infectious Disease Risk Platform to provide decision-makers a data-driven predictive tool for early warning of likely imminent spikes in Dengue fever across tropical Latin America.
  • UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy faculty member Gordon McCord is partnering with NLT to develop an online data analytics platform to support decision makers with spatial and temporal patterns of existing and forecasted Dengue fever outbreaks.
  • "Our hope is that this platform will influence positive climate-focused policy change by the governing administrative body of the affected areas," said Goldblatt.
  • According to UC San Diego doctoral student Gabriel Carrasco-Escobar, the platform will also provide key insights for preventive decision making.
