Objective To describe the characteristics of the dengue epidemic in Pinhalzinho, Santa Catarina, Brazil, and to investigate the effects of climate variables on Aedes aegypti mosquito infestation. Methods This was an ecological study using data on dengue cases, hospitalizations and deaths in 2015 and 2016; in addition to climate variables and Aedes aegypti breeding grounds from 2015 to 2018. Results In the 2015-2016 epidemic, the dengue incidence rate was 12,695.2/100,000 inhabitants. Higher incidence was registered in the female sex (13,926.4/100,000 inhabitants) and in the 50 years and over age group (17,162.0/100,000 inhabitants). Average temperature and relative humidity showed a positive relationship with increase in Aedes aegypti breeding grounds. Conclusion Dengue incidence during the epidemic was the highest ever recorded in the country. Climate conditions must be considered when planning vector control and dengue prevention actions.
描述巴西圣卡塔琳娜州皮尼亚尔津霍的登革热流行特征，并调查气候变量对埃及伊蚊滋生的影响。
这是一项生态研究，使用了 2015 年和 2016 年登革热病例、住院和死亡的数据；以及 2015 年至 2018 年的气候变量和埃及伊蚊滋生地的数据。
在 2015-2016 年的流行期间，登革热发病率为每 100,000 居民 12,695.2 例。女性（每 100,000 居民 13,926.4 例）和 50 岁及以上年龄组（每 100,000 居民 17,162.0 例）的发病率较高。平均温度和相对湿度与埃及伊蚊滋生地的增加呈正相关。
流行期间的登革热发病率是该国有史以来最高的。在规划病媒控制和登革热预防措施时，必须考虑气候条件。
