A., Cárcamo, C., & Kulkarni, M. (2017). What caused the 2012 dengue outbreak in Pucallpa, Peru? A socio-ecological autopsy. Social Science & Medicine, 174, 122-132.http://hdl.handle.net/10625/56540http://bit.ly/2vEfzVeLink to published version provided.Dengue is highly endemic in Peru, showing increases in transmission particularly since vector re-infestation of the country in the 1980s. This study suggests that the 2012 Pucallpa outbreak was proximally triggered by the introduction of a new virus serotype (DENV-2 Asian/America). Increased travel, rapid urbanization, and inadequate water management facilitated the potential for transmission. These triggers occurred within the context of failures in surveillance and control programming, including underfunded and ad hoc vector control. The findings have implications for future prevention and control of dengue in Ucayali region where chikungunya and Zika diseases are emerging.1 digital file (36 p. : ill.)application/pdfenDENGUEINFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHPERUSOUTH AMERICADISEASE VECTORSDISEASE CONTROLEPIDEMIOLOGYCHIKUNGUNYAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
