Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease that occurs in tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. As many as 400 million people are infected yearly. In mild cases, symptoms are fever, rash, and muscle and joint pain, while in severe cases, dengue fever can cause severe bleeding, low blood pressure, and even death (in fact, the first death of dengue fever this year in Hanoi, Vietnam was just reported today, May 22, 2017). Because, it is carried by mosquitoes. The transmission of dengue is related to climate variables such as temperature and precipitation. A growing number of scientists argue that climate change is likely to produce distributional shifts that may cause an increase in the outbreaks of dengue fever and have significant public health implications worldwide. The increased risk of dengue augments the need for accurate models to predict the time, location, and severity of dengue outbreaks in Latin America.
