Sistema de alerta temprana del dengue y su vector transmisor sensibles al clima, con una acción comunitaria
Summary
This policy brief describes the SAT-DENCLIM project in Cuba, which developed a bioclimatic early warning system for dengue. By integrating climate, entomological, epidemiological, and socio-environmental data from 2019-2025, the system shifts dengue management from a reactive to an anticipatory approach, utilizing spatial modeling and community participation to reduce infestation and case numbers.
Key insights
- The SAT-DENCLIM project implemented a participatory early warning system that reduced dengue cases and infestation indices by up to 60% compared to previous periods. The system utilizes a transdisciplinary approach combining climate analysis, spatial modeling, and epidemiological surveillance to identify high-risk zones and periods.
- The project established that bioclimatic indices can predict dengue transmission peaks approximately one month in advance. This is supported by a consistent relationship between climate variability, the increase of the vector, and the appearance of dengue cases.
- The system's operational framework involved collecting data from 2019 to 2025 to create risk thresholds and spatial models for vector density and viral circulation. This resulted in the creation of risk maps, critical point identification, and a community forecasting system with a 1 to 3 month horizon.
