Introduction: Dengue is an endemic and epidemic disease in Brazil, with a high burden of disease. Amazonas State has a high risk of transmission. This study aimed to assess the self-reported prevalence of dengue in adults living in Manaus Metropolitan Region. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with adults living in Manaus Metropolitan Region in 2015. We performed a three-phase probabilistic sampling to collect participants' clinical and sociodemographic data. Self-reported dengue infection in the previous year was the primary outcome. Descriptive statistics and Poisson regression analysis with robust variance were used to calculate the prevalence ratio (PR) of dengue infections with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Multilevel analysis including city and neighborhood variables was calculated. All analyses considered the complex sampling. Results: Among the 4,001 participants, dengue in the previous year was self-reported by 7.0% (95% CI 6.3%-7.8%). Dengue was more frequent in women(PR 1.51; 95% CI 1.06-2.13), elderly participants (≥60 years old, PR 2.54; 95% CI 1.19-5.45), White and Asian participants (PR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.11-2.23), and individuals who had not received endemic agent visits (PR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.31-3.99). After multilevel analysis, sex was no longer a significant variable, with the remaining associations still significant. Conclusions: Seven out of 100 inhabitants of Manaus Metropolitan Region reported dengue in the previous year. Dengue was predominantly observed in women, elderly individuals, White and Asian individuals, and individuals who did not receive endemic agent visits. The setting plays an important role in dengue infections.

“…Nowadays, Brazil accounts for more than half of the dengue cases in the Americas 13 . In 2013, the number of dengue cases in Brazil were estimated in more than 1.4 million, with an economic impact of approximately USD 300 million (about BRL 600 million at the time) 14,15 . The Southeast Region has the highest population among Brazil's five Regions, and also consistently shows the highest number of dengue cases [15][16][17] .…”

Social and epidemiological aspects of dengue were evaluated in an important metropolitan area in southern Brazil, from August 2012 to September 2014. Demographic, clinical, serological data were collected from patients with acute dengue symptoms treated at public health system units (HSUs). A systematic approach to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of cases was developed, considering the temporal cross-correlation between dengue and weather, and the spatial correlation between dengue and income over the city's census tracts. From the 878 patients with suggestive symptoms, 249 were diagnosed as positive dengue infection (28%). Considering the most statistically significant census tracts, a negative correlation was found between mean income and dengue (r = −0.65; p = 0.02; 95% CI: −0.03 to −0.91). The occurrence of dengue followed a seasonal distribution, and it was found to be three and four months delayed in relation to precipitation and temperature, respectively. Unexpectedly, the occurrence of symptomatic patients without dengue infection followed the same seasonal distribution, however its spatial distribution did not correlate with income. Through this methodology, we have found evidence that suggests a relation between dengue and poverty, which enriches the debate in the literature and sheds light on an extremely relevant socioeconomic and public health issue.

“…While many studies unite that outbreaks will have a negative impact on national economies and the global economy, the cost of these pandemics may worsen if the number of people infected or mortality increases [3]. When the infection rate increases to a signi cant level, governments' health spending also must increase to control this problem.…”

Background Communicable diseases lead to significant social and financial burden for the countries. Therefore, countries should define their social and technical factors for struggling these problems. The main purpose of this study is to determine the effective strategies to minimize socio-economic burden of these diseases. Methods For this purpose, 8 different criteria are identified based on the literature analysis. In the evaluation process, the significance levels of these factors are calculated by considering interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) DEMATEL. Findings: The findings show that technological infrastructure, social distance, and tendency of obeying rules are the most significant items to control these problems. This situation explains that countries should have the necessary equipment to make the diagnosis quickly and effectively. In addition, countries that have effective laboratories in which vaccines and drugs can be developed can be more successful in combating these pandemics. Additionally, it is also defined that cultural factors play also key role to control these problems. Conclusions In this framework, it is vital that the people in the country take the rules set by the government seriously and without exception. For this purpose, it should be explained to citizens living in the country that personal hygiene, social distance and not entering crowded environments are very important to manage these problems. For this purpose, role model people in the country can be preferred in different platforms so that it can be more effective on the citizens.
