Every year Brazil faces a constant threat: dengue virus
After #Zika virus caused major outbreaks in 2016, cases of #dengue declined in 2017-2018, but then resurged in 2019. In this study we investigated the reasons for such fluctuations 📉📈

Something 'flattened' the dengue curve in 2017-2018. Every year in Brazil, cases of #dengue rise around March, when conditions are favourable (mosquitoes, rain, temperature). But, for some reason, in those two years, dengue cases were low in all regions of the country. 📉🦠
Infectious diseases are transmitted in a population of susceptible hosts following a rate called Force of Infection (FOI).
@RJOidtman, @guido_camargo and @TAlexPerkins estimated dengue FOI for each region in Brazil, and found viral transmission was indeed quite low in 2017-2018.

I read the @biorxivpreprint every day. I've recently been asked by various people what/why/how I read so here is a short thread that may be helpful to others: 1/
@biorxivpreprint I read abstracts of articles on the @biorxivpreprint every morning and every evening, and typically a few times during the day as well. I am sometimes delving into the main paper, usually starting with the supplement. 2/
@biorxivpreprint I search for articles on @Google using keywords (and filtering for "past 24 hours"), my lab has @SlackHQ channels where people post articles, I check @rxivist, and I read and search twitter by keywords for topics I'm interested in every day. I follow @biorxivpreprint. 3/
