Discussion

Observational analysis shows strong links between climate variability and dengue incidence in Bihar, suggesting enhanced response strategies.

Dengue incidence peaked at 19,093 cases in Bihar in 2023, highlighting a critical public health issue.
Minimum temperature and rainfall were found to have the strongest correlations with dengue cases, particularly at 4- to 6-week lags.
Analysis included data from 38 districts in Bihar, assessing spatial patterns and meteorological factors over a five-year period.
Findings indicate a need for climate-informed early warning systems and effective vector control in high-risk regions.
