Determinants of Dengue 2 Infection among Residents of Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia
Abstract
Dengue fever is caused by one of the four serotypes of the dengue virus and is transmitted by the urban mosquito Aedes aegypti. In 1993, the city of Charters Towers in the tropical north of Australia experienced an epidemic caused by the dengue 2 virus. A cross-sectional sample of 1,000 people was assessed for determinants of recent symptomatic dengue infection. After exclusion of people with prior exposure to dengue 2, a study group of 797 persons, including 196 patients with recent infection, were evaluated. Stepwise logistic regression analysis identified four determinants of infection: the presence of a case of dengue fever within two residential blocks (odds ratio (OR) = 3.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.56-5.10), house screening (OR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.40-0.89), the presence of a water tank within two residential blocks (OR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.02-2.22), and the use of knockdown insecticide (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.22-2.51). Classification and Regression Tree analysis identified a group of 152 individuals in whom the prevalence of dengue infection was 50%. These people lived within two blocks of a suspected dengue fever case, did not have house screening, and used knockdown sprays. If dengue had not occurred within two residential blocks, there were no additional factors that significantly influenced the prevalence of dengue fever. Control of dengue epidemics should involve attempts to geographically contain the spread of infection, use of house screening, and the removal of mosquito breeding sites such as water tanks.

“Conversely, the use of knockdown sprays [52] (OR 2.03; 95% CI 1.44, 2.86) or mosquito coils [52,69] (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.09, 1.91; p = 0.01) was significantly associated with an increased odds of dengue incidence.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
