Pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic identification of dengue hotspots and exploration of population and environmental determinants of dengue in Quezon City, Philippines by John Robert Carabeo Medina, Shin’ya Kawamura, Rie Takeuchi, Rolando V. Cruz, Johnedel Mendoza, Paul Michael R. Hernandez, Fernando B. Garcia, Ernesto R. Gregorio, Jun Kobayashi

“…The association of dengue cases with greenness, surrounding greenness, transportation network hubs, small building ratios, and population density was determined through a generalized linear model (GLM). Results revealed that incidence rates of dengue across barangays were spatially heterogeneous, and the dengue hotspots were unstable as they varied quarterly each year. …”
