A global geographic database of human dengue virus occurrence was produced to generate a global risk map and associated burden estimates(1). Herein we present the database, which comprises occurrence data linked to point or polygon locations, derived from peer-reviewed literature and case reports as well as informal online sources. Entries date from 1960 to 2012. We describe all data collection processes in full, as well as geo-positioning, database management and quality-control procedures. This is the most comprehensive database of confirmed human dengue infection to-date, consisting of 8,309 geo-positioned occurrences in total.
一个全球性的人类登革热病毒发生地理数据库被制作出来,以生成一个全球风险地图和相关的负担估计(1)。在此,我们呈现该数据库,其中包括与点或多边形位置相关联的发生数据,这些数据来自同行评议的文献和病例报告以及非正式的在线来源。条目日期从 1960 年到 2012 年。我们全面描述了所有的数据收集过程,以及地理定位、数据库管理和质量控制程序。这是迄今为止最全面的确认人类登革热感染数据库,共包含 8309 个地理位置的发生情况。
