“…This month marks the beginning of the quarter where outbreaks of MS are more frequent, and it might be related with the features mentioned above. From January to March there have been changes in the thermal regime with a greater range of variations, and el Niño Southern oscillation event has been considered their cause [20][21][22] . Many studies found a relation between outbreaks emergence with different weather variables and seasons.…”

“…Their Impact on Mortality in the Elderly, 1983-2005 37 at 85º W and 20º and 23º N [5], influenza seasons are not as well defined as in the template countries. Influenza virus in our island circulates all the year with a low or moderate activity and a biannual increase during September-October and January-April [6,7]. Here, influenza virus surveillance is carried out through the year.…”

“…A total of paired serum positive samples were included (7,252), processed by (IH) [13] at the Cuban NIC within the time of study, and structured in three time series of subtypes A(H3N2), A(H1N1) and type B. IH was carried out with 18 reference strains of the subtype A(H3N2), 10 of A(H1N1) and 9 of type B. We considered a positive serum when there was a fourfold increase of antibody titers levels between pre-and post-infection sera.…”

“…Diversas investigaciones dan cuenta sobre la relación entre variables meteorológicas como precipitaciones y temperatura y la ocurrencia de epidemias de dengue (Ortiz Bultó et al, 2008). Las variaciones en las condiciones climáticas inducidas por el fenómeno de El Niño-Oscilación Sur (ENOS) influyen en que enfermedades como el dengue se distribuyan de diferentes formas y que la magnitud de su transmisión varíe en ciertos periodos.…”

“…Son factibles de utilizar en modelos predictivos de incidencia de dengue. Tan solo las variables climáticas, particularmente la precipitación y la temperatura, pueden ser utilizadas como una primera aproximación para comprender la exposición de la población y la transmisión del dengue a escala nacional (World Health Organization and World Meteorological Organization, 2012) En Cuba, los modelos explicativos demuestran un aumento en las poblaciones de mosquitos asociado a altas temperaturas, combinado con una elevada humedad relativa y bajas precipitaciones y, por lo tanto, una mayor probabilidad de enfermar (Ortiz Bultó et al, 2008). Los periodos de sequías pueden incrementar el número de criaderos y sostener la población de vectores dentro de las viviendas y en su perímetro.…”
