摘要: Dengue fever (DF) is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue viruses (DENVs). Epidemic occurs intermittently in Taiwan. In 2014, Taiwan experienced its largest DF outbreak. There were 15,732 cases reported. total of 136 hemorrhagic (DHF) cases, which 20 resulted death. Most reported southern A 15,043 (96%) from Kaohsiung, modern city This report reviews epidemics during 2005-2014. The correlation between and DHF along with temperature precipitation conjointly examined. We conclude that most imported cases. Results indicate three main factors may have been associated this outbreak Kaohsiung: an underground pipeline explosion combined subsequent rainfall higher temperature. These enhanced mosquito breeding activity, facilitating DENV transmission.
