Emerging Infectious Diseases 21 (9) : 1651-1653. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2109.141030 | Abstract: | A simple mathematical model without seasonality indicated that the apparently chaotic dengue epidemics in Singapore have characteristics similar to epidemics resulting from chance. Randomness as a sufficient condition for patterns of dengue epidemics in equatorial regions calls into question existing explanations for dengue outbreaks there. © 2015, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
