“…The virus circulates in the blood of infected people for 2-7 days, which is about the same period as the human fever. Patients who have been infected with dengue virus may spread the virus through mosquitoes after the first symptom (4-5 days; up to 12 times) [15][16].…”

“…Therefore, future research can include dengue-related data from the various regions of Taiwan, in order to understand the factors affecting the dengue fever epidemic in Taiwan, and to explore counties and cities other than Tainan, such as Taichung and Taipei,. The regional dengue prevention and control methods have made subsequent researches on the prevention and treatment of dengue fever perfect[10,[15][16]28].This study used the grey theory as the research method, and the TOPSIS method was applied as the weighting method. According to previous research, in addition to the TOPSIS method, the grey theory can be combined with multiple weighting methods, such as theAHP, weighted sum method (SAW), etc.…”

“…However, temperature is not the only environmental factor affecting the density of vector mosquito larvae. But, no mention of diurnal temperature range[3,[15][16][17][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. This study used the data concerning dengue epidemics on theTainan City Government open data platform from 2012 to 2015 as the data source, and then, analyzed the data with GRA.…”

Dengue fever is one of the most common insect-borne diseases in the world, and epidemics mostly occur in tropical and subtropical regions. In the past, the grey multi-attribute decision-making method has been combined with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to predict which areas in southern Tainan may easily trigger dengue epidemics. As many studies have shown that the extent of human communication and active government is crucial in dengue prevention, this study aims to propose dengue prevention and control methods before and after the occurrence of dengue cases. This study found that, when dengue fever cases begin to appear, the relevant county and city government departments must hire vector control companies to carry out regional indoor and outdoor spraying. Before the emergence of dengue cases, the green and sustainable-oriented remediation strategies, as promoted by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), can be adopted. Remediation of soil and groundwater pollution sites can reduce the source of vector mosquitoes, in order that the green environment can achieve sustainable development.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging pathogen of huge public health significance to human beings. Although majority of infections are benign with self-limiting symptoms, the recent outbreak has established an association with the increased incidence of some congenital anomalies such as microcephaly. In other words, due to the large extent of the virus and mosquito vectors, the infection has become a thoughtful health problem for human societies, though now, there are no antiviral therapies or vaccines against this virus. In spite of extensive research carried out by scientists, not so much information has been gathered about this viral infection. In the current review, we prepared an overview of the remarkable progress made in understanding about the epidemiology, immunology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis methods of ZIKV infection.
