Monitoring HIV-1 Resistance across the Globe

0268 Bernard Cazelles and colleagues looked at the details of the relationship between dengue incidence and El Niño in Thailand. Their results, based on complex mathematical analysis, do not provide easy answers for those who might want to plan for dengue outbreaks, though they do go some way to helping to understand the complex interplay between the various factors. In essence, the researchers found that there was a signifi cant association between El Niño oscillations, climate variables, and dengue hemorrhagic fever incidence with a 2to 3-year repeat, for both Bangkok and the rest of Thailand. However this association was signifi cant only for the years 1986–1992, and outside these years factors other than climate were probably responsible for triggering the disease outbreaks.
