Epidemic prediction of dengue fever based on vector compartment model and Markov chain Monte Carlo method

Abstract Background Dengue epidemics is affected by vector-human interactive dynamics. Infectious disease prevention and control emphasize the timing intervention at the right diffusion phase. In such a way, control measures can be cost-effective, and epidemic incidents can be controlled before deva...
