Dengue fever (DF) is the single most important vector-borne viral disease in tropical and sub-tropical areas worldwide. Globally, estimated 390 million dengue virus infection cases and 100 million incidences of DF occur each year (1). According to the WHO (2), southeast and western Pacific areas carry approximately 75% of global DF infections. This is a serious issue because the severity resulting from DF is considerably larger than that of other infectious diseases. In Malaysia, DF infection rates have continually increased from 376 infections in 1985 to 49355 infections in 2008 (3). Over 131 fold growth in incidence this period. In fact, the prevalence of DF is increasing at an alarming pace and has caused significant health, economic, and social burdens on communities and their occupants. The increase in DF incidence from 2011 to 2012 was 10.14% (4). In 2014, there was a 17.118% increase in DF cases in comparison with 1981 cases and 3.640% compared with 1991 cases. Current dengue prevention approaches in Malaysia are largely inadequate or underdeveloped and provide little assistance in preventing the transmission and regulation of DF. Timely, forecasts for possible DF outbreaks would be useful for the prevention and control of DF.
