Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the key factors contributing to the dengue outbreak in Oman.

Methods: Data on climate (e.g., temperature, humidity, wind pace), population traits (e.g., populace density), and vector dynamics (e.g., mosquito density) within the Seeb district of Oman from 2022 to 2023 were gathered. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was performed to study which variables affect dengue outbreaks.

Results: The results indicate that climatic factors significantly affect the dengue vector (β = -0.361, p < 0.001) but do not directly impact the dengue outbreak. Population characteristics, however, have a more substantial impact on dengue transmission, with a total effect (β = 0.231, p = 0.002) being relatively higher than that of the vector itself (total effect: β = 0.116, p < 0.001).

Conclusions: Even with ongoing vector intervention efforts, the study underscores the need to include innovative public health interventions when considering environmental and demographic factors. More advantageous surveillance and focused interventions in excessive-threat regions are essential to mitigate the effect of dengue in Oman.

调查阿曼登革热爆发的决定因素:Seeb.
研究目的本研究调查了导致阿曼登革热爆发的关键因素:收集了 2022 年至 2023 年阿曼塞卜地区的气候(如温度、湿度、风速)、人口特征(如人口密度)和病媒动态(如蚊虫密度)数据。通过偏最小二乘法结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)来研究哪些变量会影响登革热的爆发:结果表明,气候因素对登革热病媒有明显影响(β = -0.361,p 结论:即使目前正在开展病媒干预工作,但登革热疫情仍将持续:即使目前正在开展病媒干预工作,这项研究仍强调,在考虑环境和人口因素时,有必要纳入创新性公共卫生干预措施。要减轻登革热在阿曼的影响,就必须在威胁过大的地区进行更有利的监测和重点干预。
