The Influence of Meteorological Variables on the Occurrence of Dengue Cases in Fortaleza, Ceará

Abstract

This work aims to analyze climate variability and its relationship with dengue. The work sought to correlate the meteorological data collected on the National Institute of Meteorology - INMET for the period from January 2014 to December 2019 and the data from the Daily Health Monitoring System (SIMDA) of the Health Department of Fortaleza. As a result, it was found that the meteorological variables that most influence dengue cases in the capital of Ceará are: wind speed, minimum temperature, maximum temperature and precipitation and that the municipality of Fortaleza/Ce demonstrates favorable conditions for the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in the period under study.
