Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2017.118
Pages: 
42-6
Synopsis: 
The study suggests a connection between climate variables and vector-borne disease. The study showed a positive correlation between climate variables and vector-borne diseases like malaria, leptospirosis, and dengue.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyse meteorological data (temperature, rainfall and relative humidity) and vector-borne diseases (malaria, dengue and leptospirosis) to determine trends that may exist between and among variables within the Georgetown area.

Synopsis: 
In this study was investigated the place of routinely used biochemical tests in the diagnosis of leptospirosis. Some parameters amenable to routine use are able to differentiate the disease from other cases with similar clinical and laboratory findings.
