Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted viral infection of major international public health concern. Global environmental and socio-economic change has created ideal conditions for the global expansion of dengue transmission. Innovative modelling tools help in understanding the global determinants of dengue risk and the relative impact of environmental and socio-economic factors on dengue transmission and spread. While climatic factors may act as a limiting factor on the global scale, other processes may play a dominant role at the local level. Understanding the spatial scales at which environmental and socio-economic factors dominate can help to target appropriate dengue control and prevention strategies.
登革热是一种由蚊子传播的病毒感染，是国际公共卫生的重大关切问题。全球环境和社会经济变化为登革热传播的全球扩张创造了理想条件。创新的建模工具有助于理解登革热风险的全球决定因素，以及环境和社会经济因素对登革热传播和扩散的相对影响。虽然气候因素在全球范围内可能是一个限制因素，但其他过程可能在地方层面发挥主导作用。了解环境和社会经济因素占主导地位的空间尺度有助于确定适当的登革热控制和预防策略。
