Analysis of spatial mobility in subjects from a Dengue endemic urban locality in Morelos State, Mexico

Abstract: IntroductionMathematical models and field data suggest that human mobility is an important driver for Dengue virus transmission. Nonetheless little is known on this matter due the lack of instruments for precise mobility quantification and study design difficulties.Materials and methodsWe carried out a cohort-nested, case-control study with 126 individuals (42 cases, 42 intradomestic controls and 42 population controls) with the goal of describing human mobility patterns of recently Dengue virus-infected subje… Show more

“…Several studies have linked population mobility as an important factor in the pattern of dengue transmission. 20,21 Dynamic population mobility has a stronger effect on the spread of dengue infection compared to its vector mobility, Aedes sp.. 22 This is possible because of the limited flight distance of Aedes sp. mosquitoes (no more than 500 m. 23 Therefore, the spread of dengue is mostly clustered because of the limited flight distance of mosquitoes.…”

“…Por ejemplo, Vazquez-Prokopec et al (2009) investigaron la posibilidad de conocer y cuantificar los movimientos de la población y su relación con la transmisión del virus del dengue en entornos urbanos tropicales mediante la utilización de dispositivos GPS. Otros muchos estudios han seguido este camino y han dotado de sensores GPS a distintas poblaciones para relacionar movilidad y transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas (Stanton et al, 2017;Falcón-Lezama et al, 2017). Otras disciplinas que han aprovechado estas tecnologías han sido el turismo (Shoval et al, 2011) o los estudios de transporte (Wang et al, 2015).…”

“…Dengue is a mandatory notifiable disease in Mexico but only diagnosed cases are reported so we can expect our data to be biased by un-notified asymptomatic cases, underreporting and misreported (a certain amount of cases that are not related to Dengue but to some other diseases with similar symptoms). There is evidence in the Dengue literature [13], [42], that movement is a key factor for understanding epidemic episodes and large outbreaks that occur along the years. Here we analyze data corresponding to towns located in four states in the Federal Republic of Mexico: Veracruz, Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas.…”
