Understanding the Rise of Dengue Fever in Bangladesh: Climate Change, Urbanization, and Mosquito Control Strategies

EasyChair Preprint 13162

Abstract

Dengue fever has emerged as a significant public health concern in Bangladesh, with a notable increase in incidence rates over recent years. This abstract seeks to elucidate the factors contributing to the rise of dengue fever in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on the intersections of climate change, urbanization, and mosquito control strategies.

Climate change has played a pivotal role in creating favorable conditions for the proliferation of Aedes mosquitoes, the primary vectors of dengue fever. Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns have extended the geographic range of mosquitoes, increasing the risk of dengue transmission in previously unaffected areas. Additionally, extreme weather events such as cyclones and floods exacerbate breeding habitats and facilitate the spread of dengue virus.
