Abstract
Dengue is a microorganism sickness transmitted by the yellow-fever (mosquito Aedes aegypti) mosquito. The global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. In Madurai, dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever has shown an increasing trend. Data associated with dengue fever was gathered from the varied government health agencies. This study analysed dengue cases from 2009–2015 in different precincts in Madurai city. It associates with “Z” score variation based on GIS techniques. Moran’s I, average nearest neighborhood and kernel density estimation were used to access spatial distribution cases. The result showed that dengue cases were spatially random (p < 0.0001) by using spatial autocorrelation analysis showed dengue cases within the Madurai wards were highly clustered and occurred at an average distance of 143.56 m. Several locations, especially residential areas had been identified as hot spots of dengue cases in the Madurai city used by using kernel density estimation analysis. It will helpful for health officers in developing efficient control measures and contingency programs in identifying and prioritizing their efforts ineffective dengue control activities.
