The 2022 dengue outbreak in Bangladesh: hypotheses for the late resurgence of cases and fatalities (2023)
Journal Article
Haider, N., N, H., Hasan, M. N., MN, H., Khalil, I., I, K., …MJ, U. (2023). The 2022 dengue outbreak in Bangladesh: hypotheses for the late resurgence of cases and fatalities. Journal of Medical Entomology, 60(4), 847-852. https://doi.org/10.1093/jme/tjad057

Bangladesh reported the highest number of annual deaths (n = 281) related to dengue virus infection in 2022 since the virus reappeared in the country in 2000. Earlier studies showed that >92% of the annual cases occurred between the months of...
