| Abstract: | Background Despite intensive vector control efforts, dengue epidemics continue to occur throughout Southeast Asia in multi-annual cycles. Weather is considered an important factor in these cycles, but the extent to which the El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a driving force behind dengue epidemics remains unclear. |
