    (Wiley, 2019) Freddy Pérez; Anthoni Llau; Gamaliel Gutiérrez; Haroldo Sergio da Silva Bezerra; Giovanini Evelim Coelho; Steven K. Ault; Sulamita Brandao Barbiratto; Marcelo Carballo de Resende; Lizbeth Cerezo; Giovanni Luz Kleber
    Multifactorial events may have accounted for the decline in dengue seen in 2017.
