Dengue Outbreak Peak Timing Correlations by Province, 2010-2024

2010-2011 to 2023-2024 epidemic years of data showing Spearman rank correlations between province longitude and peak outbreak month on a July-June scale. The dataset, created by Bimandra A. Djaafara and last updated in March 2026, analyzes a west-to-east gradient in peak timing across provinces. It is a 5.5 KB XLS file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between geographic longitude and dengue outbreak timing based on the described west-to-east gradient.
• Analyzing annual coherence in dengue wave timing across provinces for specific epidemic years from 2010 to 2024.
• Investigating links between Asian monsoon progression and disease periodicity based on the phase lag concept mentioned in platform tags.
• Developing early warning systems for dengue based on province-specific peak timing patterns.

Strengths

• Covers 14 consecutive epidemic years from 2010-2011 to 2023-2024.
• Explicitly analyzes a specific relationship: Spearman correlation between longitude and peak month.
• File is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
