Abstract:Objective To establish a seasonal index model to describe the monthly distribution characteristics of dengue fever in Guangdong Province so as to predict the epidemic situation and evaluate the effect of prevention and control measures. Methods The reported monthly incidence data of dengue fever in Guangdong Province during 1990-2016 were collected, and multi-curve models were selected to simulate the seasonal index of dengue fever epidemic. Results The equation of simulation model for the monthly occurring rate of dengue fever wasS=36.585-17.436x+5.425x2-0.318x3 (S≥0%,R2=0.980,P=0.000).The equations of simulation model for seasonal index of dengue fever epidemic ran as follows:S=-0.001+0.008x-0.003x2+0.000x3 (S≥0, x=1,2,3,4,5,6,R2=0.992,P=0.012);S=e-14.021+1.733x(S≥0,x=7,R2=0.981,P=0.001);S=-189.883+41.304x-2.181x2 (S≥0,x=8,9,10,11,R2=0.998,P=0.048);S=1.274E12*e-2.612x(S≥0, x=12,R2=0.995,P=0.043). The Results revealed that there were much higher occurring risk and higher incidence level of dengue fever in July-November in Guangdong Province as well as great abnormal outbreaks of dengue fever in 1995 and 2014. The monthly incidence tendency and temporal distribution characteristics of dengue fever epidemic in Guangdong Province had gradually changed since 2013. The month with abnormal outbreaks of dengue fever moved forward, the outbreak frequency incereaed, the intensity was enlarged, and these changes tended to lead to a high epedimic in the second half of a year. The Results evaluated by the model revealed that the actions of early prevention and control had significant effects on preventing the epidemics of dengue fever in Guangdong Province in 2015-2016. Conclusions Multi-curve models are fit for the simulation of seasonal index of dengue fever. The models can not only be used to describe the monthly temporal distribution characteristics of dengue fever, early detect and predict the situation of the epidemic to achieve early discovery and early prevention and control, but also be used to evaluate the effect of prevention and control measures.
