Objective: The objective of this research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on the relationship between climate change and dengue transmission in the Scopus database, covering the period from 2014 to 2023.
Method: This is an exploratory, descriptive, and quantitative research with a bibliometric approach. Data collection was performed in the Scopus database, following the inclusion criteria: journal articles in English published between 2014 and 2023 and accessible in the database, and exclusion criteria: duplicate articles, inaccessible articles, or review articles.
Results and Discussion: The results show no increase in the number of articles over the years. Regarding the authors, Lowe, R., and Ryan, S. J. had the highest number of published articles and citations. Among countries, the United States stood out with the highest number of articles, while Brazil produced ten times fewer articles than the United States. Additionally, concerning climatic factors, three stood out: temperature, precipitation, and humidity, mainly related to increased vector density and mosquito incidence, higher virus transmission, reduced virus incubation time, among other aspects.
Research Implications: There is a noticeable gap in Brazilian scientific production on the relationship between climate change and dengue, highlighting the need for further studies and investment in research.
Originality/Value: This research underscores the relevance of climate change in vector-borne disease transmission, offering a bibliometric analysis that highlights aspects still underexplored in the scientific literature.
