Arboviruses, such as Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya, represent a significant global public health threat, with their incidence strongly influenced by climatic variables. This study investigates the relationship between the occurrence of these arboviruses and environmental factors, including temperature, precipitation, and humidity, in three cities in Paraíba, Northeast Brazil, between 2013 and 2023. Using epidemiological and meteorological data, the exploratory analysis identifies key patterns and correlations between climatic conditions and disease transmission. When combined with urbanization, these factors can create favorable conditions for the vector's life cycle. These findings provide valuable insights for public health strategies, particularly identifying the specific intervals of climatic variables that have a greater influence on the occurrence of the observed diseases.

摘要

Arboviruses, such as Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya, represent a significant global public health threat, with their incidence strongly influenced by climatic variables. This study investigates the relationship between the occurrence of these arboviruses and environmental factors, including temperature, precipitation, and humidity, in three cities in Paraíba, Northeast Brazil, between 2013 and 2023. Using epidemiological and meteorological data, the exploratory analysis identifies key patterns and correlations between climatic conditions and disease transmission. When combined with urbanization, these factors can create favorable conditions for the vector's life cycle. These findings provide valuable insights for public health strategies, particularly identifying the specific intervals of climatic variables that have a greater influence on the occurrence of the observed diseases.
