... 34 provinces of Indonesia, this study focused on 7 out of the 34 of Indonesia's provinces [41]. The provinces selected were North Sumatra, Jakarta Capital, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Bali and East Kalimantan (see Figure 2) [3,4,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. The selection of the 7 provinces is based on the classification of the average dengue cases incidence (see the data in Appendix B, Table A2) into 5 levels by the natural break methods in QGIS application. ...

... Higher temperatures, lower relative humidity, and low wind speeds are associated with an increased incidence of IVD. 8 Therefore, understanding the relationship between climate variability and dengue transmission is critical to designing effective interventions using one-health approaches. 9 Despite the importance of climate variability, there needs to be more comprehensive, high-quality data on IVD cases and mosquito abundance in Bali. ...
Dengue virus infection (IVD) has resulted in significant mortality and morbidity in the past decade in Bali, Indonesia. IVD case reports in 57 subdistricts in the period January–December 2022 reached 7,582 cases (distribution of cases between subdistricts in Figure 1), an incidence rate (IR) of 162/100,000 population (Figure 1), and mortality of 15 people (case fatality rate [CFR] of 0.2%). Cases were declared to have tripled from the previous year, and IR did not meet the national target (> 49/100,000 population). The urgency of dengue eradication in Bali aims to reduce morbidity and mortality due to DHF. We highlight the challenges and obstacles that make IVD cases in Bali increasingly concerning. Based on our review, climate variability is essential in increasing vector populations in the environment. However, a comprehensive study that studies the interrelationships of all climate elements, including temperature, air humidity, wind speed, air pressure, precipitation, rainy days, rain properties, the standardized precipitation index (SPI), and the length of solar irradiation in increasing abundance, population, and vector activity with increasing cases of IVD, has not been studied comprehensively.
... Another study assessed the risk of dengue cases in Indonesia in relation to multi-factorial climate change. The study elucidated that an increased risk of dengue was observed in the years affected by El Nino and La Nina climate extremes, additionally predicting the regions that are vulnerable to dengue risks influenced by climate [6]. A systematic review of the Oropouche virus, an emerging vector-borne arbovirus, was documented for its presence in Latin America by Sciancalepore et al., whereby the One Health approach and geospatial techniques were combined [7]. ...
