T1 - Randomness of Dengue Outbreaks on the Equator T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2015 VL - 21 IS - 9 SP - 1651 SN - 1080-6059 AB - A simple mathematical model without seasonality indicated that the apparently chaotic dengue epidemics in Singapore have characteristics similar to epidemics resulting from chance. Randomness as a sufficient condition for patterns of dengue epidemics in equatorial regions calls into question existing explanations for dengue outbreaks there.
