Climate-Sensitive Early Warning System for the Dengue Virus and Its Transmitting Vector, with Community Action

The SAT-DENCLIM project in Cuba transitioned dengue surveillance from a reactive to a proactive model by combining bioclimatic indices, spatial modeling, and community engagement. Using data from 2019–2025, the system can predict transmission peaks approximately one month in advance and identify high-risk clusters. This integrated approach resulted in a reduction of up to 60% in dengue cases and infestation rates compared to previous periods.

• The implementation of the SAT-DENCLIM operational and participatory early warning system led to a reduction of up to 60% in both dengue cases and infestation rates when compared to previous periods.
• The system utilizes bioclimatic indices to predict dengue transmission peaks with a lead time of approximately one month.
• The project established a relationship between climate variability, increased vector populations, and the emergence of dengue cases, utilizing spatial analysis to identify persistent high-risk clusters.
