A team of Chinese scientists has unveiled a groundbreaking discovery linking sea surface temperature anomalies in the tropical Indian Ocean to the prediction of global dengue epidemics.
Published in the prestigious journal Science, the study highlights how fluctuations in ocean temperatures can serve as a reliable climate indicator, significantly enhancing the forecasting models for dengue outbreak responses.
By integrating this climate data, health authorities worldwide can better prepare and implement strategic measures to curb the spread of dengue, ultimately safeguarding communities across the globe.
