A. Background Information
Different diseases are currently spreading in the Philippines. Most of them are
activities. One of the most common disease is Dengue Virus. Based on DOH Dengue
Surveillance Report on August, 2019, Region VI had the most number of cases followed by
Region IV-A and Region X. Meanwhile, seven out of seventeen regions have exceeded the
epidemic threshold of Dengue in their regions for the past consecutive weeks
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that rapidly spread in all regions of the
world in recent years. Dengue virus is transmitted by female mosquitoes. These mosquitoes
could also trigger chickungunya, yellow fever, and ZIKA virus. Dengue is widespread
throughout the tropics with varying factors such as rainfall, relative humidity, temperature,
Dengue infection in rural and urban areas are commonly caused by poor sanitation
and can be fatal if not treated immediately. The researchers will conduct a study in
determining the environmental factors that causes Dengue Virus and spread awareness on

D.Related Literature
According to some studies, climate directly affects the spreading of dengue infection which makes it one of
Based on the study of Pfeiffer (2020) Dengue has been spreading and growing in the tropics and
subtropics. They have concluded the results using pre-summer monthly total rainfall and mean temperature
to predict annual dengue incidence, over the period 2002-2018 in three pre-defined areas of Hong Kong.
The study found that the rainfall before and during the East Asian monsoon (pre-summer) rainy season is
negatively complementing with the annual incidence in Hong Kong while the temperature is positively
correlated. In summarization, as mosquito control measures in Hong Kong are intensified mainly when
heavy rainfalls occur during or close to summer, our study suggests that a lower-than-average intensity of
pre-summer rainfall should also be taken into account as an indicator of increased dengue risk.
