Spatial and temporal pattern distribution of dengue cases in a locality nearby MRT line Kuala Lumpur : a retrospective study from 2015-2019

Malaysia, with a population of approximately 27.7 million and a population density of 84 per sq. km, has continuously recorded rising annual cases of dengue infection since 1980. The pattern of dengue transmission is influenced by complex factors including the environment, climate and weather, human behaviour and dengue virus serotype-specific herd immunity among the human population. The condition of Malaysia itself as tropical climate country provides conductive sites for Aedes mosquitoes to breed and eventually facilitate the distribution of dengue viruses into the population. Data of confirmed dengue cases were collected from 2015 to 2019 in 500 metre radius and 1000 metre radius from twelve MRT stations studied in Kuala Lumpur. The data was analyse to study the the temporal distribution of dengue cases nearby MRT stations. The dengue cases reported were highly influenced by the density of the population lived nearby locality. This result thought to be helpful and relevant to leaders to stay away from this sort of difficult issue by considering proper control measures. This goes about as a notice that the community should not take with this expansion, as the dengue illness shows a higher contamination and transmission rate contrasted with the other comunicable disease in Malaysia.
