| Sumario: | Background: Dengue virus (DENV) infection is currently one of the most significant vector-borne viral diseases in terms of global morbidity and mortality. Climate change studies have demonstrated the association between dengue virus transmission and variations in ambient temperature. We performed a mini review to evaluate whether there are differences in the association between the increase in ambient temperature and the incidence of dengue among the different dengue serotypes. Methods: For this systematic review we searched MEDLINE and PubMed databases for studies published within the last 15 years, from database inception to the exception of this review, focusing on the association between dengue incidence of serotypes and temperature variations globally. We excluded studies that involved reviews, modeling with only prospective data, prediction, or predictive models. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Findings: There is a significant association between temperature and DENV infection due to global warming. No specific dengue serotypes were identified as predominant in the reviewed studies. Aedes aegypti and Aedes Albopictus, the primary dengue vectors of DENV, have different behaviors in response to temperature changes. Discussion: The findings of this review emphasize the strong relationship between temperature and dengue incidence. Expanding the geographical scope and including more prospective studies would enhance the understanding and generalizability of these findings. Conclusion: This review showed a significant relationship between temperature increases (in the context of global warming) and dengue infection, leading to potential outbreaks. A more thorough analysis of serotypes is recommended for future studies. |
